Elon Musk's SpaceX in recent months has secured deals for everything from launching premier national-security satellites to improving weather forecasting for the military

Southern California-based Space Exploration Technologies Corp., the official name of the closely held company, also has worked with the Air Force and the Army to demonstrate communication links. And weeks ago, it signed a Pentagon agreement to study the feasibility of using SpaceX’s proposed deep-space Starship transport, a giant capsule with built-in rocket engines, eventually to whisk cargo around the globe. Company engineers envision moving 80 tons between continents in minutes.

From the beginning, Mr. Musk has said his ultimate goal was colonizing Mars to provide humans a safe escape from Earth if necessary. But in the process, SpaceX amassed an order book of civilian launch contracts estimated to total about $5 billion.

Once a Washington outsider, Elon Musk now courts military businessElon Musk’s SpaceX was dismissed by Pentagon brass during its early years. But now, the company has secured deals for everything from launching some of the nation’s premier national-security satellites to improving weather forecasting for the military. More good news please((( (Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk is in talks with the Israeli government to build tunnels in the country, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a campaign event this week, 2019. Elon loves innovation and military budgets. Of course they dismissed vaporware. He had to prove he could do what he claimed. Why is that so bizarre? Nice clickbait description and wording though. 👍
