Richard Branson, Virgin Orbit Military Utility
Richard Branson admitted that Virgin Orbit's primary value is not space tourism but the ability to rapidly replace military satellites. He claimed the company can scramble a 747 on one hour's notice to launch new birds, acting as a deterrent against enemy nations like China or Russia. The Pentagon and U.S. Air Force have reportedly expressed significant interest in this "scramble" capability.
