Trump is looking for a replacement Musk

The Trump administration is expanding its search for partners to create the Golden Dome missile defense system, seeking help from Amazon's Kuiper project and major defense contractors due to tensions with Elon Musk (public quarrel between Trump and Musk on June 5).

Even before that, Pentagon and White House officials began exploring alternatives to SpaceX, fearing over-reliance on one partner for much of the ambitious $175 billion space defense shield.

The US government has reached out to new participants in the program, such as Stoke Space and Rocket Lab. Defense industry companies Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and L3Harris are also negotiating to support the Golden Dome project.

Yesterday, the Pentagon issued a press release stating that the architecture of the Golden Dome will be "developed over the next 60 days."

The development of the Golden Dome will change the dynamics of global security in the future. Work in this direction only accelerates the further militarization of outer space, pushing other countries into an arms race.
