$XOVR $DXYZ The U.S. Air Force suspended SpaceX's hypersonic cardo delivery testing at the remote Johnston Pacific Atoll to protect seabirds. I'm all for protecting the environment, but the trade off here, is absolutely moronic. Plus, the hypocrisy is ridiculous. The U.S. Air Force has no issues with our entire fleet of jets going through our skies spewing JP-8, a kerosene-based fuel, but we suddenly have a problem with protecting seabirds? Give us a break. Sounds like
$DJT creating a little payback on Elon Musk. But, at what cost? Well, this hypersonic cargo program - once developed - will be able to deliver up to 100 tons of cargo to any location on Earth within approximately 90 minutes. Sounds like a pretty vital capability. Let's get this fixed ASAP.
