In a historic announcement, President Donald Trump revealed Golden Dome, a $175 billion missile defense system that will be the first US weapon deployed in space. Slated to go operational in just three years, this ambitious project aims to protect the US from cruise missiles, ballistic threats, hypersonic attacks-even those launched from space itself!
Described as a blend of space-based sensors and interceptors, the Golden Dome will integrate with existing ground and sea defenses. Its mission? Detect and eliminate threats before they even launch. Trump called it essential for the “success and survival” of the US, while Space Force General Michael Guetlein-an expert in space warfare-will lead this futuristic forcefield initiative.
Modeled after Israel’s Iron Dome, this American upgrade has global implications. Trump even hinted at Canada joining the shield. But not everyone’s impressed. Russia and China have blasted the plan, warning it could turn space into a battlefield and destabilize global peace.
