Space datacenters have the dual-use of tracking and weapons targeting which is needed for a robust Golden Dome architecture (immune to comm link jamming, terabit image sensor processing) Musk is involved in every aspect of Golden Dome.

> Space datacenters have the dual-use of tracking and weapons targeting Space datacenters aren't going to be equipped with military infrared sensors. They stick out like a sore thumb on the electromagnetic spectrum and the second you test it every peer-power would know it's a military platform. Nevermind the fact that the satellites don't transmit to American C2, so they'd need laggy ad-hoc networking to reach STRATCOM over on Link 16. > Musk is involved in every aspect of Golden Dome. SpaceX is the only firm on the planet produces a booster stack with the throw weight to put a usable kinetic weapon in orbit. It's not their first military contract, Musk has been sticking his nose in the NRO projects for years now. Are you the user forgot-im-old? Your stylometry (and obsession with Musk/SDI) is pretty familiar. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=forgot-im-old https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=forgot-im-old

  Not sure what you're trying to say If you're interested in Musk and the Mars Society history as a front for the U.S. military industrial complex, a good start is https://www.mintpressnews.com/pentagon-recruiting-elon-musk-nuclear-war/289055/ https://www.mintpressnews.com/pentagon-recruiting-elon-musk-... And that was written before Musk won the recent Golden Dome contracts, etc.. so very precient

    You're talking past everything I said. Do you have any sources for your claim that space based datacenters are dual-use?

        The only link that you provided mentioning dual-use satellites is from a Swedish defense contractor at an expo. Is SDA "tracking and targeting" on consumer satellites, or are they not? Let's narrow this down to your initial claim.

        They're still physically the same Starlink satellites being used for Golden Dome.
