> Literally the first thing that SpaceX ever tried to launch was for a DoD contract[1]

I was talking about sat contracts, not rockets.

This was the first and so far only one (outside of Starshield): https://spacenews.com/spacex-l3harris-win-space-development-...

And again, non of this is secret, so I have no idea what you are talking about.

And SpaceX just delivers the sat bus, not any of the other missile related stuff.

This is a minor sideshow for SpaceX.

> Big picture yes, but definitely not the actual details.

People don't talk in detail about national security projects ... shocker.

Everything you are arguing is just typical conspiracy theory 'coincidence I THINK NOT' type of argument. You have absolutely nothing even remotely solid. So Ill show you how its done:

> In 1991, Griffin was the president and CTO of Orbital Sciences

and then

> in December 2008, NASA awarded SpaceX and Orbital Sciences

COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT! Orbital got 300 million $ more then SpaceX for doing LESS!!!!!!

Northrop Grumman has since absorbed Orbital.

> SDA industry partners now include SpaceX, L3Harris Technologies, Northrop Grumman, Ball Aerospace and General Dynamics.

AHAHAHAHAH COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!
