 “(Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com) President Trump’s plan to develop a new massive missile defense system for the US, dubbed the “Golden Dome” or the “Iron Dome for America,” is expected to cost $500 billion over the next 20 years, CNN reported on Monday, citing an estimate from the Congressional Budget Office.”
 “The project will be a boondoggle for US weapons makers, and, according to a report from Reuters, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has emerged as a frontrunner to develop key parts of the missile shield. The report said SpaceX has partnered with Palantir and Anduril on the project.”
 Worth it.  But the cost will be $5 trillion.
 BTW, I fully expect to see two or more space stations, a space gas station, and a space hotel out of this.  SpaceX is going to put up a lot of equipment to support the Golden Dome.

Maybe we should put a Golden Dome over Taiwan also.
