Golden Dome chief warns program stops in October without new funding

On August 11th, US Space Force Director General Michael Guetlein issued a stark warning regarding the "Golden Dome for America" program’s future. He stated that if no new funding is secured by October, the entire initiative will be halted immediately. The program currently focuses on developing and deploying advanced space technologies across various sectors of the United States. Specifically, Guetlein highlighted the critical need for additional financial support to continue its operational activities and technological advancements. Without this investment, significant progress in areas like satellite communications and national security capabilities would cease entirely.
