SpaceX reportedly signed a $1.8 billion contract with US intelligence services back in 2021
Elon Musk’s secretive Starshield project will allow the US military to track targets and support American and allied ground forces in real time almost anywhere on Earth, Reuters has reported, sharing new details of the billionaire’s dealings with the Pentagon.
SpaceX has been launching prototype military satellites alongside “civilian” payloads on Falcon 9 rockets since at least 2020, before eventually securing a lucrative $1.8 billion contract with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in 2021, Reuters wrote on Saturday, citing five unnamed sources familiar with the project.
The vast constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites will be able to track targets on the ground in real time nearly anywhere worldwide, the sources claimed. One of them boasted that Starshield would ensure “no one can hide” from the US government. The system also reportedly aims to be “more resilient to attacks” by rival space powers.
It remains unclear how many Starshield satellites are currently operational and when the system is expected to fully come online, with SpaceX and the Pentagon ignoring Reuters’ requests for comment. The NRO claimed it is developing “the most capable, diverse, and resilient space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system the world has ever seen,” but refused to comment on SpaceX’s role in the project.
The SpaceX CEO previously acknowledged the development of the military alternative to the “civilian” Starlink system, saying in September that it would be “owned by the US government” and controlled by the Department of Defense.
“Starlink needs to be a civilian network, not a participant to combat,” Musk said, referring to the use of the satellites in Ukraine throughout the conflict with Russia.
Musk donated around 20,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine shortly after Russia launched its military operation in February 2022. Since then, Kiev’s troops heavily relied on the system to maintain communications and operate combat drones along the front line.
While pledging support for Ukraine, Musk has repeatedly said he favors a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The billionaire has come under fire from US officials after refusing Kiev’s demands to use the Starlink network to aid strikes on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. In turn, Musk argued that activating Starlink in Crimea would be in breach of US sanctions. In the absence of any direct orders from the US leadership, SpaceX opted not to contravene regulations despite Kiev’s request to do so, the tycoon explained.
Earlier this month, US lawmakers reportedly launched another probe into SpaceX, after Ukrainian claims that Russian troops had allegedly used Starlink satellite service on the conflict frontline. Musk has denied the allegations, insisting that “no Starlinks have been sold directly or indirectly to Russia.” The Kremlin has also insisted that the Russian military has never ordered Starlink terminals.

Did you know that all the pollution from rocket launches is 100% inert?
That is why no one has ever objected to such things like a shuttle launch, just one of which equals more than a year of auto pollution in the USA.
Yep, all those rockets staining the skies with perchlorate and heavy metals, soot and other trace chems.
There is no way in hell this stuff builds up in the atmosphere and then causes the “chemtrails “.
Why don’t you twits cut the crap? The secret has been out for decades.
Exzctky.
And still idiot- shill for “chemtrails”
I find it hilarious that people who pushed their chips all in on chemtrails always respond vigarously to oppose any other possible answer to their preformed conclusions.
It is like chemtrails is the inviolate bible…..which was writ by men.
So, chemtrails dipshits?
Absolutely no way long jet trails can he caused by pollution already in the sky?
Hm?
Mark?
Anyone?
Bueller?
I repeat, you are all one hundred percent sure that the long lasting contrails are not caused by anything other than malicious intent.
That you refuse to consider reasonable alternative theories, proves you are unteachable fools.
Nice rant. Need a tissue?
Nah I can spit these out all day without breaking a sweat.
Crossing the rubicon to reality is armor against false beliefs, believers and the dross hangers on.
Knowing the truth and dispensing it to the heathens is gods work.
Land o’Goshen! Great Balls of Fire! We done got us a smart feller come down from Mt. Pilot to learn us about modern times. Since it be Saint Paddy’s Day I’ll have me a pull on the jug and read me some smart thangs from this city feller.
You claim to be doing the work of God. I knew you were a drugged out lunatic.
By all means, keep ranting.
geoengineeringwatch.org
educate yourself anonymous.
Educate?
In “Do you want to know more?” style (for the dumbasses: that is a reference to Starship Troopers)
…which you only knew because I told you…fag.
that’s was hilarious!!!!!!!!
LOL. There is no pollution in the sky now that wasn’t there in the 1970s and I never saw chemtrails then. There were, however, almost always a contrail to watch disappear as the planes flew overhead.
Whichever bots DVed this four times, again, cut the crap:
The game is wide open. Just stop. Yer busted.

Suck a dick.
…and they have promised to never use them domestically. Gotcha!
Not surprising since Starlink will almost certainly be tied into the other side of the Great Reset, linking everybody with their biometric digital IDs containing their UBI & ESG scores & vax status.
I’m guessing Starshield will track the nano-particles that every being has ingested over the past few years – doesn’t matter if you’ve been jabbed or not. Just because the cabal has stated that they hope to inject the food supply with nano-technology to ensure everyone has gotten the mRna vaccine – doesn’t mean they haven’t been doing so already – they lie!
It’s better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission, but they have no intention of begging.
Starshield….the set up fir Project Bluebeam where a faked, staged very convincing “alien invasion” is promoted as real.
I have idiot friends who already believe the alien stories.
I guess that makes me an idiot, birds of feather etc.
The aluminum nose of an airplane cannot emerge intact after crashing though 208 feet of glass, steel and concrete.
Period.
This isn’t debatable by anyone who knows anything about materials. The fact that the video clearly shows the nose emerge from the far side of the WTC COMPLETELY intact proves some sort of trickery.
Like Turd Blossom so eloquently expounded,
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality, judiciously, as you will, we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
Turd Blossom. Had to look that up. I think God and nature have other plans.
You got that right. The engineering bullshit that sheet aluminum can go through steel and concrete makes it 100% likely that 9/11 was a Psyop.
Now if we can get normies to figure out who was actually behind and benefited most from 9/11. Should be pretty obvious but this is America so…
If you could ever convince the masses to not comply with their own subjection by any human or group of humans, none of these issues would exist. Everybody seems to insist on belonging to some group with a leader or leadership team . . . including you.
Yep, an aluminum can cannot smash through a window. Even if it’s flying at 250 mph.
You’re not tall enough for this ride.
That’s what birds did to the nose of a commercial airliner.
And this is what happens after a commercial airliner passes through 208 feet of WTC-

I was wondering what your “proof” is, of an ‘intact’ aluminum/plastic nose, as I had never seen a pic of such.
Well thanks for undershooting even my already very low expectations – those roughly 8×8 pixels showing the “nose” part are really an impressive sight to behold.
It’s now really starting to look as if the insane have taken over TBP comment asylum…
Your reputation is deserved, m.
Try to argue my facts, not my person – dumbass.
listen to you fckn idiots on here discussing what happened on 9-11. A day late and dollar short.
Maybe sit up and pay attention next time. Not 23 years after the fact. Idiots. Its a done deal so shut your traps and live with it.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!
Obviously, since Aluminum wings can’t do that….
Tell me…do the Nazi’s still control NASA and our space program…askin for a fren.
Clearly a no.
Were Nazis used to implement the plans of those who defeated them?
Yes, yes they were.
nazi = khazar zionist fake jews.
they are so much smarter than you and they actually have a secret……long term planning and a dash of lies, deceit and fraud.
the fun is just beginning you pure americanos. you’ll finally get a taste of the evil that the US has delivered to billions around the world.
Do the Nazarenes control NASA? [nasa in Hebrew: lift up]
Hmm.
Yes.

Zelensky will be a joke sidenote in history.
Heck, he may inspire a generation of “Stupid Ukrainian” jokes.
Q “How many Ukrainian platoons does it take to clear a mine field?”
A “All of them.”
Q. Why will Ukraine lose the war?
A. Because their “leader” is a Western stooge who doesn’t give a shit about Ukraine or Ukrainians.
Q. How many Ukrainians does it take to change a light bulb?
A. Why bother to change the light bulb?
It will only illuminate a tiny part of the shithole we call Ukraine.
Suggested name change:
Fuckedkraine.
Pukraine.
Suckraine
To raise money…
Zelensky will release a tutorial DVD called “Playing The Piano With Your Dick For Fun And Profit” this year.
Paint it blue, you know, just in case.
But which tone of blue?
This one:
Is this going to be before or after he completes his magnificent 800 mph underground Hyperloop train system?
Never, but will claim it’s true with smoke and mirrors after he collects umpteen billions more from the taxpayers via our overlords.
Stop killing the buzz, man, Elon’s the people’s billionaire.

“USA! What big ears you have,” said Little Red Dying Hood as she thumbed through her phone.
“The better to listen in on you with, my dear,” replied Elon.
“But USA What big eyes in the skies you have,” said Little Red Dying Hood.
“The better to watch whatever you do, my dear,” replied the wolf.
“But USA! What big teeth you have,” said Little Red Dying Hood, her voice quivering slightly.
“The better to eat you with, my dear,” roared the USA and he leapt out of the bed and began to eat the little girl.
Little Red Dying Hood=White people.
Musk is working both sides of the street , claiming to be for freedom , yet handing tools to tyrants who will further oppress their population.
Someone gets it.
“track targets … anywhere on earth.”
.. including Appalachia and the Northwestern redoubt.
The TARGETS are you and me.
The “free speech absolutist” is not your fren.
Anyone falling for Elon’s “friend of the common man” schtick at this point is brain damaged.
Haven’t we been tracked for awhile now?🤔
lmfao….this new system of tracking isnt for you.
you are likely to be put in permanent storage before implementation
so stop worrying about it
He has little to no engineering background, was not originally part of PayPal, and those few businesses he has that are cash positive do so with heavy govt subsidies and contracts. FRONTMAN.
“Anyone falling for Elon’s “friend of the common man” schtick at this point is brain damaged.”
Yep.
TFG is building the digital control grid infrasructure, yet Q tards et al. cheer him on. We’re on our own, plan accordingly.
I do not remember where I came across this information. From what I understand is a couple of well place satellites in GS orbit that are taken out the debris field will cause a change reaction taking just about everything with them.

Elon is a fraud. He’s totally subsidized by the government to make his garbage cars. He doesn’t give a shit about free speech and is just taking everybody for a ride. X still bans you if you critize certain groups of people. Nothing has changed.
Elon is the guy who wants to implant chips into people’s brains. Does he sound like a hero?
“Matt Taibbi, who worked on the “Twitter Files” with Elon Musk, has said that the X owner “proved to be very disappointing on the free speech issue.”
Musk has repeatedly claimed to be a “free speech absolutist,” while shadowbans, unexplained suspensions, and unevenly enforced rules have continued.”
When Starshield calls for military forces, the USA shall have ceased to exist and Starshield will be lost in space so to speak.
Art, SpaceX too! Very system and peacetime dependent.
look at the mouth on this thing. positively prehistoric.
“Fresh”water barracuda.
& ahistoric/rossing all the “really legit” maplines called “past-present-future.” I bet it could swallow groundhogs all day long.
Musk is a capitalist. You’re gonna criticize him for that? I thought everybody here hated ‘socialism’.
Musk’s Mom…Hmmm…
Capitalist with most government subsidies and handouts in the history of the world.
What ELSE would you expect from the king RENT SEEKER himself???
This is all bullsh#t. Musk, skylink, its stated purpose, the gov.
Its all bullsh#t. Lies, deceit and fraud. Nothing more. You are all desensitized and hopeless!
Reviewing what’s public, seems to me that Musk has learned something from the Ukraine war… I bet the starlink system ends up doing a lot of back haul between satellites, with the starshield sats being used to enter/exit the system. Stand behind the “civilian only” shield for the bulk what truly gets used by the system (which would otherwise be considered a legitimate military targets).
