Trump and Elon Musk are still kissing the communist ring. The USA must disconnect from Musk industries. NASA needs the funding and the USA needs national security. The Trump Disaster is not an acceptable paradigm as it compromises all of the Free World.
NASA needs to revitalize it's service rockets to the ISS. Do we need to replace the ISS? The Russian portion of the ISS is another disaster and needs to be dealt with appropriately so proper space operations can go forward. I never hear anything about the work of the Space Force which is now an arm of the USA military. The soldiers in the Space Force are receiving deployment orders that don't exactly seem appropriate for the mission of that branch.
The Starlink mess must be contained to only commercial and private customers and then only for a period of time to dismantle the network. Starlink has been a problem for scientists in that it interferes with telescopes and long standing studies of the universe. The USA is putting all these incredible satellites and machines into space only to have Musk screw it up.
The USA can do exactly what Musk is doing and profit from it. As a matter of fact NASA can do it better with the right leadership that doesn't cower to Trump.
The USA military industrial complex would be very happy to supply technology that protects the allies of the USA and to countries suffering from genocide by Russia or any other country. The way Musk does business he is probably empowering the terrorists currently coming into power in Africa. Madagascar was the latest African country to fall to Russia. Every country that aligns with Russia can count on sending their citizens to the Ukraine front to continue Russia's slaughter of innocent people. In return they get all sorts of perks for the leadership which brings to mind Victor Yanukovych and Russia's lauding of wealth upon him while enslaving Ukraine.

Units have for several days reported speed restrictions affecting the entire front line and Russian-occupied parts of the country, Zelenskyy said in a social media post. A limit of 100 mph is “being imposed on Starshield,” he said of the military version of SpaceX’s Starlink communications service....
