Trump may remove Elon Musk from Golden Dome project, US government looking alternative for SpaceX, this company may get chance, not Google, Microsoft
Home News Trump may remove Elon Musk from Golden Dome project, US government looking alternative for SpaceX, this company may get chance, not Google, Microsoft Trump may remove Elon Musk from Golden Dome project, US government looking alternative for SpaceX, this company may get chance, not Google, Microsoft US President Donald Trump may remove Elon Musk's company SpaceX from the Golden Dome project and give a change to Amazon. Trump may remove Elon Musk from Golden Dome project, US government looking alternative for SpaceX, this company may get chance, not Google, Microsoft Golden Dome Project: The fight between Elon Musk and United States President Donald Trump has been going on since the richest man in the world termed Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' a wasteful expenditure. Now, it is expected that President Trump may remove Musk's company SpaceX from the Golden Dome project — the missile defence system which aims to protect America from foreign air attacks. The Trump administration has already started exploring new options for the USD 175 billion project, Reuters reported. Amid the fight, Jeff Bezos' company, Amazon's Project Kuiper may get a chance. However, other defence companies are also in the race. The report also stated that SpaceX has not shown interest in the project. What Is The Golden Dome Project? On the lines of Israel's Iron Dome, the US also wants to build a powerful air defence system that protects the country from any areal threat such fighter jets, drones and missiles. Notably, Trump announced about the project a week after the start of his second term. According to several media reports, a plan has been made to launch over 1200 satellites for the defence system. With this the US is preparing to detect and destroy the enemy's missiles from space. Out of the 1200 satellites, 400 to 1,000 satellites will be used for tracking of enemy missiles. 200 interceptor satellites will be prepared to shoot down those missiles in space itself. The air defence system will be capable of intercepting and destroying missiles launched from any part of the world. Trump has also claimed that the Golden Dome will be able to intercept attacks from space. Has The Work Started To Launch The Project? It is worth noting that the Golden Dome Project will cost around USD175 billion. The US President has already approved USD25 billion for the project. On July 17, the approval was taken from the Senate, and Space Force General Michael Guetlein was given command of the project. Guetlein will form a team in 30 days, the project's design in 60 days and the entire plan in 120 days. Who Is Better Between SpaceX And Amazon? SpaceX's experience with government contracts and its deployment of over 9,000 Starlink satellites in space make it the frontrunner. Despite launching only 78 satellites to date, Amazon's Project Kuiper has been invited by the Pentagon to participate in a defence project. This has showcased a major shift in government strategy, including technology companies alongside established defence contractors.

Scientific approach can help raise UP's agri production 3 times: CM Yogi
1 2 Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday expressed concern over the fact that only 26% of the farmers apply scientific approach in carrying out farming activities in UP which was otherwise bestowed with natural conditions suitable for agriculture and agricultural research. Addressing a gathering at the national workshop on 'Vikshit Krishi, Viksit UP', organised by UP Council for Agriculture Research (UPCAR) on its 36th foundation day, Yogi said that the productivity of agriculture can potentially be increased by three times of what exists at present. UP accounts for 11% of the total agricultural land and 20% of the total food grain produced in the country. Yogi said that improvement in productivity can be increased only through consistent efforts to boost scientific research and its robust application in the field. "We have swathes of fertile agricultural land, sufficient water resources irrigating almost 86% of the total area. Yet the productivity is low," he said, adding that only those states and countries have progressed which focused on research and development. UP, he said, not only has the potential to feed the country but the whole world. "Agriculture, horticulture and vegetable production…we can do a lot in these areas," the CM said, stressing on the need to step up agricultural research by factoring in agro-climatic zones. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like G+35 Tower | 2, 3 & 4 BHK Homes in Navi Mumbai L&T Panvel Enquire Now Undo "This can play a decisive role in determining the speed of development of not only the state but the whole country," he said. Yogi said that PM Narendra Modi has fixed a target of turning India into a developed country by 2027 having an economy of the size of USD 30 trillion. "But for this the states will have to play their roles. UP will have to become a Vikshit Pradesh. And for this we have to look for all possible opportunities to do so," he said, affirming that the country was moving steadily ahead in achieving the target of becoming a USD 5 trillion economy. Yogi said that the state govt has fixed the target of making UP a USD 1 trillion economy by 2029. He said that the state has conceptualised a detailed plan covering all key sectors including agriculture and infrastructure which would usher in development. "At the same time, we need to have short term goals before achieving the target of becoming a developed economy by 2047," he said, exhorting agriculture universities and Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) to focus in that direction. The CM asked the agriculture research institutes and universities to step up efforts to arrest migration of farmers from agricultural activities. At the same time, he said, more work was required to be done for improvement in seed variety to boost production.
