Elon Musk's SpaceX and the US military plan to build a rocket capable of delivering 80 metric tons of cargo anywhere in the world in 60 minutes.

Under a newly agreed contract, SpaceX will assess the costs and technical challenges of the project, while initial tests are expected in 2021, Gen. Stephen Lyons, the head of US Transportation Command, said Wednesday at a virtual conference.

A 7,652-mile journey from Florida to Afghanistan could be completed within about an hour with such a high-speed rocket, which could travel at 7,500 mph, per The Times.

In comparison, a US C-17 Globemaster, a military transport aircraft costing $218 million with a maximum speed of 590 mph, would complete this journey in about 15 hours.

The plan comes days after SpaceX landed a $149 million contract to build missile-tracking satellites for the Pentagon, indicating that the aerospace firm is ramping up its military contracts.

As part of the deal, SpaceX will build four satellites fitted with wide-angle infrared missile-tracking sensors in its assembly plant in Washington, where the firm builds satellites for its Starlink internet project.

In August, SpaceX won 40% of a billion-dollar agreement with the Department of Defense to launch new rockets for the Space Force. The remaining 60% went to United Launch Alliance.

Yeah, that's cool and all. I expect it's going to trigger a few people though.

A Starlink app launched in certain regions this week, following a successful beta test of the network’s capabilities in parts of the US and Canada.

Users noted that the terms of service within the app state that Starlink services provided to Earth or Moon will be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

Beyond our planet and its satellite, however, the laws and regulations by which it will abide are less clear.

“For services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars via Starship or other colonisation spacecraft, the parties recognise Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities,” the governing law section states.

“Accordingly, disputes will be settled through self-governing principles, established in good faith, at the time of Martian settlement.”

My sister could use that, she's stuck with shitty Hughes Net in rural Wisconsin

Was watching a video yesterday on Mars and what will be our attempt to travel there and Starlink was one of the topics. Cool to see it up and running.

Their getting a little ahead of themselves aren't they? SpaceX only got to the ISS just this year.

Having plans and talking about what comes next is how this field works and the deadlines or estimated dates are aggressive to help motivate success.

Think about how long it took to get to the moon after the first man was in space.

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again...Make a settlement on the Moon first before trying to do so with Mars. Use the Moon settlement as a testing ground for new tech plus should anything happen it's a 3 day trip back home instead of on Mars where you have to wait for the optimal alignment that occurs once every 26 months.

TSLA surged over 13% after hours when it was announced it is joining the S&P 500.
