US Military New Massive Demand For SpaceX's Starship After Flight 4!
SpaceX has recently thrilled space fans with the spectacular performance of Starship on its fourth test flight. But surely we space fans aren't the only ones excited. The U.S. military has been eyeing Starship for a long time, and after its recent success, they just made new offers for SpaceX.
Find out everything in today's episode of Techmap.
We all know about Starship's incredible payload capacity, right? It's projected to carry up to 200 tons in the future, taking humans and cargo to the stars. But before that, once it becomes operational, it will be used to launch Starshield satellites into space. Do you know about the Starshield program? It's very new, quite new compared to the history of SpaceX. Let me give you an overview.

It can be said that it evolved from Starlink. If you've been following the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, you would see the significant role Starlink has played in supporting Ukraine, both militarily and civilly. It ensures uninterrupted communication for the Ukrainian military when their internet and communication networks are destroyed, while also aiding them in defending and attacking Russian positions.

Starshield is much more powerful and capable than that. It's a program developed by SpaceX specifically for military purposes, serving only the United States government as its client. It includes specially designed low-orbit satellites that build upon the capabilities of Starlink, with the added ability to carry payloads, perform target tracking, optical and radio reconnaissance, and provide early missile warnings. These are indeed remarkable capabilities for monitoring and safeguarding airspace. It's no exaggeration to say that Starshield is like a system of eyes in space for the United States.

I love SpaceX and all the disruptive industries supported by Elon, but I'd like to see soon Starship rising to the skies with those 200tons.
Who ever controls the high ground controls the battle and eventually the war.
I have never worried about the FAA or the environmental lobby. I knew from the start that Elon Musk is considered a "national treasure" by our military. I would surmise he has already signed contracts with them for billions of dollars.

SpaceX Starshield
First I've heard of this program, it's got its own Wikipedia page. There are six already in orbit. I think the idea of these things up in the sky is equally unsettling and reassuring. It's also, inevitable. From the reassuring aspect, I think it is possible for technology like this to help intercept attacks from rogue global actors. (An SDI Star wars that actually works)
It's also getting really crowded up there and it wouldn't take all that much to ruin satellites for just about everybody. And starshield satellites would be a prime target for attacks that precipitate the Kessler syndrome.
And when you drift too far into thinking starshield would be a bad idea, it doesn't take too much additional thought to think, "well what if other nations had defensive capabilities against attack and we didn't? Who would go on unscathed if there was such an attack?"
It's like the atomic bomb. It sucks that it exists but it would really suck if the Nazis had it and we didn't.
I just hope that we are just mature enough as a species to use this kind of technology as a way to protect and preserve and further the best of humanity instead of set it back in unimaginable ways.
You are right. I think that Elon never wants his products serving human are controlled by fascists
Thanks great video 👍👍🌟
“ If it can land on the moon it can land on the ground”?
That is a stupid statement that seems to forget about the difference in gravity and oxygen in the air.
Yeah,...but it can land on ground
yup 6 X more gravity on earth ever hear of a little thing called free Fall? ask TWA 800 or the people off the towers of 911
Tell D.C. to pound sand. I do every day.
Funny how they mention how Starlink helps Ukraine, but doesn't mention when it was shut down when a bunch of drones were about to sink a lot of the Russian fleet.
I'm pretty sure space x and GFL are in biz together 😊
Landing on an Aircraft Carrier? Yes you could land it on a carrier, but why? The heat from rocket blast of the engines with a heavy payload would damage all kinds of equipment normally used on the deck. Not to mention the damage to the deck its self and be in calm to dead calm seas.
Yep, you'd have to add a proprietary platform ship to the convoy, or some sort of new foldable system to a carrier. Pft, I don't know.
What would happen to star ship if it did a delivery to a ship, would it have fuel to fly home or will they just push it over the side🤔
Aliens are laughing
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚀
No nucks in space,Not to launch from space,but we might need a space tug.
Thanks for cmt
We have 9,900 satellites already around Earth how many is too many just a question
Great video! I don’t think it’s a question of if the department of defense will essentially own SpaceX, but when. As you detail in this video, the DOD may already own SpaceX in terms of dictating what SpaceX is going to develop and when. This is not really a bad thing, because the capabilities that SpaceX builds for the department of defense can certainly be applied to civilian uses just as the Apollo program was. Also, given the erratic nature of Elon, having the department of defense there to make certain that SpaceX continues to be run in a professional mannerwill actually be a plus.
They use contracts, which is common in gov't and private projects. I can see the military very much wanting the capability to drop 150 tons worth of equipment anywhere on the planet within an hour or so. If SpaceX is able to get the tanker portion of the program working, it seems the military would just need to build the launch tower and arms at the remote site with SpaceX help. Then the booster/starship launches, both refuel in orbit, land on site/unload/load cargo, get stacked, then launch back into orbit, then land again back at SpaceX to do it all over again.
Drop the AI voice! It sucks.
Elon Musk. Wants to use his technology to go to Mars. 🚀 clearly the US military has other ideas. 😬
Do both.
Is this how the USA is promoting peace around the world?
by successful space travel ?? And communications??
America is a big joke i mean the government, i hope those American who struggle deserver more like free health care, education.
Jesus, were you born yesterday. Let me help you, the human species have been at war since records began and will continue too. Under recent Empires there has been Unprecendented levels of peace and gloabal prosperity guarenteed by a very big stick called the US Military. No Global shipping without the US Navy etc, peace sis obtained by threat surely you can understand this?
Around the atmosphere. And if you have a problem with it (and more often than not- you don't have a problem with it but you have strategic resources) then we'll bring 'Democracy' to you too😅
@@BugsbunnyEh Nothing in life is free.
Do you think that we could land a Star Ship on an aircraft carrier???
Wow , that would be amazing!!!
Blah blah blah… WHEN CAN I INVEST IN SPACEX ELON? 😂
Me too! I want to buy SpaceX stock!
How many MIRVs can Starship deploy? 😂
"MIRV" what does it mean
Multiple
Intercontinental
Return
Vehicles
@@benyomovod6904 okay, I got it, thanks a lot
they are on the way toward that goal
Forget SpaceX, let Boeing do it says NASA ... 😮😮😮
Are those 2 astronauts really going to get into that thing Tuesday? Boeing desperately needs the humiliation of dragon going to get them.
@@rolanddeschain965 , they can always go back in the Russian capsule...
Theres already a dragon docked but the seats are spoken for. I just know i wouldnt want to fly that thing home.@@genonote228
Let them over pay for the Boeing Starliner 737 max.
OMG, are u kidding me ?
China has a quantum satellite 🛰
😂
China has everything Americans learned , 250,000 + chinese go to higher education schools in America.
Our world is on the brink of nuclear war and Elon Musk big success is developing a rocket that realises Ronald Regan's insane "Star Wars" initiative of launching nuclear warheads from Earths orbit... and OH-Boy is that something to celebrate. 21st century humanity has gone completely insane :(
Thanks for sharing
Please provide a reference for Ronald Regan's "Initiative for launching nuclear warheads from Earths orbit". I ask because I believe you are mistaken or just bald faced making it up as you go along. Star Wars was about intercepting incoming warheads with lasers, microwave lasers and conventional warheads. Not atomic weapons in orbit. Anyone who tells you Regan wanted to put nukes in orbit is lying to you.
Yeah! AI commentating sucks!!!!!
this is a fake video
Yup, completely empty rocket barely makes it to orbit and then borderline burns up in the atmosphere. What a throbbing success.
Very reusable and utilizable so far.
1st it didnt "barely" made it into orbit. It wasnt in orbit at all, it was precisely put into such a suborbital trajectory that it wouldnt end up as massive unsteerable spacejunk.
2nd compared to all competitor orbital rockets it was a mission success, as a payload could have been deployed, if an actual orbit would have been aimed for.
No other rocket of a compareablr magnitute has ever physically attempted what starship did with sl4
You could just admit to being a clueless Elon hater? Oh, I see a crowd, better go follow it!!
Thankfully, real progressive is not run by people like you.
We'd still be in the stone age if everyone had the attitude of "well, it didnt work first, try so scrap the entire thing!"
@@rolanddeschain965 you've just defined Elmo's cult of NPCs.
@@darkknight097first try? Starliner is 50 year old technology. It's the Apollo project 2.0
DON'T CAVE TO THE MILITARY USE!
