Could this be the reason for the speed along of Starlink and Musk-Trump working together recently with the Space-X projects? One would assume irrespective of ground level EMP strike, sattellite based will retain function, and could be hugely beneficial. Is this why the push for Space force also? To protect future global comms/connectivity (Starlink) and also protect that comms platform too (Space Force)?
"It seems Musk has now placed a more fixed timeline on the rollout after this week's launch. A private beta is set to start in around three months, which would place it somewhere near late July 2020. A public beta is set to start in around six months, which means a launch date of around October 2020."
