washington - President Trump's plan to build a 'Golden Dome' space shield raises fears of a costly arms race as potential future wars in space loom. Read more on telegraaf.nl.

Donald Trump's 'Golden Dome' and the Specter of a New Arms Race

President Donald Trump is pushing forward with a plan to create a 'Golden Dome' space shield, reminiscent of Reagan's Star Wars project, potentially sparking a new arms race and leading to space warfare.

The Concept of the 'Golden Dome'

Trump's 'Golden Dome' is envisioned as an advanced version of Israel's 'Iron Dome', designed to detect and destroy missiles using a network of thousands of satellites. The estimated cost of the project ranges from $175 billion to possibly trillions, with differing opinions on the final price tag.

Key Players and Concerns

Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin are poised to play significant roles in the project, leveraging their expertise in satellite deployment. The US, already possessing various anti-missile systems, aims to defend against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) from countries like China and Russia.

Global Implications and Arms Race

The 'Golden Dome' project, which aims to protect not only the US but also Canada as part of NORAD, has drawn scrutiny from other nations amid fears of a burgeoning arms race. Concerns over hypersonic missiles and Russia's alleged space-based nuclear weapons add complexity to the evolving landscape of space militarization.

Congress and Funding Challenges

The fate of the 'Golden Dome' project hinges on Congressional approval, with initial budget estimates causing debate over excessive spending. Companies like L3Harris Technologies, Lockheed Martin, and RTX Corp are poised to contribute to the project, but the timeline remains uncertain as lawmakers deliberate over funding.
