Satellites for surveillance purposes. Budget is infinite.


More than they're launching now? It's not like a surveillance payload costs dramatically more to launch than a non-surveillance payload. Even the US doesn't have that many satellites to launch.


And Europe isn’t going to buy surveillance from a company that will pull the plug if we end up in a shooting war with Russia.


> Budget is infinite.

A fantastic way to break your economy. Even the extra half trillion/year Trump wants to spend on the military is increasing investor concern about buying US treasury bills.
