Not a military guy but I assume the ability to launch much more into orbit would enable the military to "flood the zone" so to speak. Just fill orbit with so many military satellites and weapons that space superiority is essentially guaranteed.
- consumer451 4y agoYeah, this is probably the best argument even though it’s not very specific. The only issue is that already, launch is not the largest cost component of space assets, it’s the assets themselves. Say Starship could launch 5 NRO assets at once, could we afford to build them?
