The continued goal of realizing SDI is not secret, nor a conspiracy. Heritage Foundation is quite open about it since proposing the original idea to Ronald Reagan. Griffin is a very influential member. He just pulled a team of SpaceX people (from the Starshield group) to build hypersonic warheads to implement the interceptor part of an SDI "at scale": https://www.castelion.com/team https://www.castelion.com/team As someone else said, follow what these people DO, not the self-serving narratives they/Elon gives biographers.

Again, your argument is that the SpaceX is somehow a result of SDI and that SpaceX exist because of it. That developments at SpaceX are somehow done because of SDI or in service of it. And that is fundamentally false. Literally 90% of all space starups are full of former SpaceX people. Of course every now startup in space is recruiting people from SpaceX. That utterly meaningless for your argument. > As someone else said, follow what these people DO, not the self-serving narratives they/Elon gives biographers. You mean actually verifiable facts rather then conjecture based on a narrative that you tell yourself. Yeah why would we want facts. You are observing all the typical conspiracy theory hallmarks. Congratulations. If you actually did some more research, if any DoD program is responsible for small launch companies like SpaceX popping up, it would be 'responsive launch'. After 9/11 the realized that they didn't have enough assets above the Middle East and started to investigate small launch to address cases like that. That is when work like that stared and small launch companies mostly hoped to get into that. Of course it never actually turned about to be a big thing. But DoD is still working on stuff around that but it never been a big market. https://fireflyspace.com/news/firefly-selected-to-demonstrate-launch-and-on-orbit-services-for-u-s-defense-innovation-unit-diu/ https://fireflyspace.com/news/firefly-selected-to-demonstrat...
