BREAKING: US SPACE FORCE AWARDS SPACE X FIRST CONTRACT | ELON STRESSES NO PARTICIPATION IN COMBAT
As the media attacked Elon over Ukraine, the Pentagon stood firm, and now awarded Space X with the first contract. This is what we know so far:
- This contract aims to provide specialized satellite communications for the military.
- Elon made it clear “Starlink needs to be a civilian network, not a participant to combat”, avoiding a repeat of the blame over NOT participating in, and escalating, the war in Ukraine.
- Labelled ‘The Starshield’, it will tap into SpaceX's existing Starlink satellite constellation.
- This system offers communication services for satellites orbiting between 100 to 1,000 miles above Earth.
- The contract's value is capped at $70 million
- It includes Starlink-based communications, user terminals, and comprehensive network management.
- SpaceX is still competing with 15 other companies for work orders, worth up to $900 million through 2028.
This is a GREAT achievement for SpaceX, and Elon’s commitment to NOT participating in combat is what we need.
Let’s see how the media spins this to somehow attack @elonmusk again…
