The Space Force just stood up the 75th ISR squadron, whose job it is to perform counter-space activities ie stopping China from destroying (physically or otherwise) US satellites. Which is a little orthogonal to the gist of the article which is more about the scenario "SpaceX gets hacked and their secrets advance the enemy" a la LockMart's F-35, instead of "SpaceX gets hacked and 30% of StarLink falls out of the sky."
But still, there's an unresolved tension of who protects the network of the private contractor. Should the 75th ISR have authority to unilaterally act within SpaceX's network because that's where the Chinese are? If no, should SpaceX be legislated to fight that battle?
