Rocket Report: Pentagon needs more missile interceptors; Artemis II clears review

The Rocket Report highlights the Pentagon's urgent need for more missile interceptors alongside a positive Artemis II review, underscoring the tension between defense and exploration in America's space agenda. The Pentagon aims to boost interceptor capacity by 200% by 2028, while Artemis II's clear review puts its 2025 launch on track. This dual focus outperforms #7's automotive innovation in strategic weight but falls short of its charging speed. It provides a quantified benchmark for prioritizing national security over purely commercial space ventures.
