Money, Musk and mission creep: How Trump could shape DOD's space drift

Money, Musk and mission creep: How Trump could shape DOD's space drift

  • The path to a larger Space Force budget isn't clear - even as Trump, who oversaw the creation of the service, prepares to take office in the coming weeks.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's influence could potentially shape the Department of Defense's (DoD) approach to space operations, focusing on the integration of private sector involvement, particularly from companies like SpaceX led by Elon Musk. Trump's administration saw significant policy shifts towards commercial space partnerships, which included the establishment of the Space Force and a push for more privatization in space activities. This "mission creep" refers to the expansion of military space operations into areas traditionally dominated by civilian or commercial entities. The article explores how Trump's policies might continue to affect the DoD's strategy, potentially leading to a greater reliance on private companies for national security space missions, thereby blurring the lines between military, commercial, and exploratory space endeavors. This shift could have long-term implications for how space policy is developed, with considerations of cost, innovation, and the strategic use of space as a domain for both defense and economic competition.
