>“How am I in this war?” during an interview with author Walter Isaacson.
You inserted yourself in it, perhaps naively.
I mean, you provided military infrastructure to one side (initially for free), the same tech you just signed a contract with the Pentagon for.
- quantified 3y agoIs Spacelink in breach of contract or not? Who is paying the bill, what are the terms of service? For better or worse, relying on commercial infrastructure for national needs is a bad enough situation, relying on commercial infrastructure of a random (non-allied, non-hostile) nation is even worse. Unfortunately for nations smaller/poorer than the very richest, they won't be able to have the same infrastructure as the richest. Being a space power means being able to have militarily useful GPS, comms, and spy capabilities, being not a space power means not having them.
