“Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ Missile Shield Expected To Cost $500 Billion”
  
https://headlineusa.com/trumps-golden-dome-missile-shield-expected-to-cost-500-billion/

“(Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com) President Trump’s plan to develop a new 
massive missile defense system for the US, dubbed the “Golden Dome” or 
the “Iron Dome for America,” is expected to cost $500 billion over the 
next 20 years, CNN reported on Monday, citing an estimate from the 
Congressional Budget Office.”

“The project will be a boondoggle for US weapons makers, and, according 
to a report from Reuters, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has emerged as a 
frontrunner to develop key parts of the missile shield. The report said 
SpaceX has partnered with Palantir and Anduril on the project.”

Worth it.  But the cost will be $5 trillion.

BTW, I fully expect to see two or more space stations, a space gas 
station, and a space hotel out of this.  SpaceX is going to put up a lot 
of equipment to support the Golden Dome.
