Senator Mark Kelly delivered a devastating reality check to Pete Hegseth over the proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system—a project that could cost taxpayers up to a trillion dollars. Kelly, a former astronaut and test pilot, lays out the scientific reality: stopping hundreds of ICBMs, thousands of decoys, hypersonic glide vehicles, and multiple warheads all at once may simply be impossible. Meanwhile, Hegseth cut most of the Pentagon’s testing and evaluation staff—the exact people who would validate whether the system works.
In this video, we break down why the Golden Dome might be a politically appealing idea but a physically unworkable one, and why Kelly’s warning should concern every American. Stay tuned for more in-depth analysis from a progressive, fact-driven perspective.
