The U.S. military wants to use "Star Ship" and "Send to the World One Hour", Russian media: in the early stage of technical verification

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The "Russian Russia" website reported on June 20 that according to the newly disclosed Pentagon document, the U.S. military is studying how to use American Space Exploration Technology Company (SpaceX) large -scale manned spacecraft "Star Ship", and Implement "sending important materials or personnel in one hour to any place around the world."

According to the decryption document obtained by the US "Freedom Information Act", SpaceX signed a cooperation agreement with the US military transportation command in 2020, which clearly mentioned that a military "star boat" fleet can be in the Pacific region Provide "another logistics transportation method", or transport "a series of bunkers, vehicles, construction equipment and other equipment" in a short time to anywhere around the world.

It is reported that the U.S. military is interested in efficient "rail freight flight". The U.S. Department of Defense previously stated that it hopes that in less than an hour, it will be equivalent to the effective load (about 80 tons) or a M1 main battle tank of the C-17 strategic transport aircraft to anywhere. "Because the cost of traditional carrier rockets is too high, only super loads such as nuclear warheads can enjoy this cargo method."

After SpaceX proposed the concept of "Star Boat", the space freight mode with a very low cost of transportation immediately attracted the attention of the U.S. military. The exposed documents showed that the U.S. military designed a variety of simulation scenarios for the use of "Star Ship". Among them, the most sensitive includes "embassy support", and the "fast theater delivery capacity" from the United States to Africa's embassies from the United States to Africa may involve the transportation of "fast response troops". The U.S. military said that only showing this ability can prevent non -state organizations from adopting aggression against the United States. " It is reported that this simulation scene designed by the U.S. military reminishes people in 2012. At that time, the US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans died of anti -American armed hands when they were waiting for rescue forces.

However, the report believes that the "Star Boat" is still in the early stage of technical verification, and the ability to have the expectations of the US military's expectations is uncertain. (Chen Shan)
