The #Trump administration is expanding its search for partners to build the Golden Dome missile defense system, courting #Amazon.com's #ProjectKuiper & big defense contractors as tensions with #ElonMusk threaten SpaceX's dominance in the program, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

I applied to an Amazon job with Project Kuiper and they want me to record my voice responses to questions as part of an assessment. Im thinking no.

Has anyone else done this before?

Is this normal?

Can I opt out or ask for an accomodation?

But it turns out that #Musk is sabotaging his companies enough to ruin any advantage they might have had. I never thought that #ProjectKuiper or #OneWeb had a chance, but if Kuiper is even some what competitive and Eutelsat OneWeb figures out how to be competitive, then they could take a good chunk of business away from Starlink.

People and governments are losing confidence in Starlink, the EU's #IRIS2 project aims to deliver an EU sovereign satellite platform in the next ~6 years. Which is far away in tech world, but not long in infrastructure terms.
