SpaceX just got CRAZY requirements from the US Pentagon for Starship…
Space has long emerged as a strategic battlefield of paramount importance for every nation. The United States is no exception.
No longer confined to battles on land, sea, or air, the 21st century has ushered in an era where control and dominance in outer space have become imperative for national security.
As nations vie for strategic advantage beyond the confines of Earth, the stage is set for a new era of competition and cooperation in the cosmos.
For the US military, the desire for the world’s largest spacecraft, Starship, is not new, they have long anticipated the potential and advantages that the spacecraft could bring to their military objectives.
As Starship becomes increasingly refined and proven, the US military is developing bolder plans for its use.
One of these plans involves conducting thousands of SpaceX flights each year.
To achieve this, in addition to requiring SpaceX to prepare a significant amount of hardware, the US military also needs hundreds of Mechazilla launch towers.
All of this is aimed at increasing the presence of military bases launching into space. Remember that when assessing a nation’s military strength, not to mention its weapons, military bases are the most important factor determining the country’s power.
The US military has about 700-850 military bases around the world.
Large bases, simply referred to as “Bases,” are defined as military installations that cover an area larger than 4 hectares (10 acres) or have a value exceeding $10 million. These bases typically accommodate more than 200 US military personnel. Among the US’s foreign bases, 439, which accounts for 60 percent, fall under this category.
