SpaceX’s Starship Rocket: The Potential for Military Applications

While SpaceX’s Starship rocket is primarily being developed to reach Mars, it is also garnering interest from the U.S. military for its potential military applications. At the recent Space Mobility Conference held by the Space Force, it was discussed how the massive rocket could be used for quick point-to-point travel on Earth, including the transportation of supplies and even troops. The Department of Defense has been exploring this idea for the past two decades, and with Starship’s capabilities, it is coming closer to becoming a reality.
