    This has got to be a joke. 😂

    They think they are going to do this for $60 million. That’s adorable.

      I’m 93% sure that illustration is just AI slop. The site itself seems to be sensationalizing mundane technology developments, probably using AI written slop.

      The space carrier concept isn’t too difficult and it’s been discussed before. It would be a crewless, unpressurized vehicle that could deploy satellites on command. $60 million is probably too optimistic but maybe in the ballpark at least.

      The need for it is completely questionable and the militarization of space pisses me off though
