SpaceX: DOD Has Requested Taking Over Starship For Individual Missions
« on: January 30, 2024, 10:23:22 pm »
Aviation Week by Brian Everstine January 30, 2024

The Pentagon has approached SpaceX about potentially taking over Starship for sensitive and potentially dangerous missions as a government-owned, government-operated asset instead of contracting the company to launch payloads.

The company has been exploring its options in responding, Gary Henry, a senior adviser with SpaceX, told the audience at the Space Mobility Conference here Jan. 30.

SpaceX is already on contract for development of the Department of the Air Force’s Rocket Cargo mission, with the goal of delivering cargo point to point through space. But this is beyond that plan, Henry says.

I can't think of anything more that would ruin that company and the idea of privately-owned and operated space companies.
