Kwast & Musk

A 3-post series on the new U.S. Space Force started here two weeks ago. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Kwast explained his vision for the new force, as well as the reason why we very much need it. America must speed up its its program for innovative space technologies according to Kwast.

In a conversation last Friday with Air Force Lt. Gen. John Thompson in Orlando, it appears that Elon Musk agrees with much of what Kwast said at Hillsdale.

Since "Economics is the foundation of war," and since in Elon's opinion China will surpass the U.S. economy by 2-3 times, China is a potential threat. 

He said, “If you have half the resources of the counterparty then you better be real innovative, if you’re not innovative, you’re going to lose.”

“I have zero doubt that if the United States doesn’t seek innovation in space it will be second in space.”
