    Glad to see that the DoD are stepping up to fund and operate a separate constellation of satellites. Putting SpaceX in a position where they had to make real-time decisions on military communications seemed like an unfortunate situation for everyone, SpaceX included. Hopefully this will rectify that.

    All those SDA commsat contractors better hope the DoD wants to maintain “dissimilar redundancy”
