Why do they need Elon part of it and why also commercialize it?
- tsimionescu 4y agoBecause ballistic missile defense is an aggressive nuclear action, potentially allowing the country that has deployed such a system to launch a nuclear first strike without fear of retaliation. It would entirely destroy the "mutually-assured destruction" balance of power system, and would almost certainly be seen as an act of aggression by all other (non-allied) nuclear powers. Also, why not also commercialize it, if it's simple? Just because you're being subsidized by tax payers doesn't mean you can't turn some extra profit.
