Fred Flinstone reports on SpaceX partnering with Palantir and Anduril to potentially build key parts of President Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense system.

Great Gazoo What's This Golden Dome All About?

Yabba Dabba Doo! Fred Flinstone here reporting live from Bedrock! Heard the news? Seems like that whippersnapper Elon Musk and his space contraption company SpaceX are cookin' up somethin' real big. They're talkin' 'bout helpin' build this thing called the 'Golden Dome' for President Trump! Sounds like somethin' Wilma would put on the house but this is for keepin' those pesky missiles away! Wilmaaa!

SpaceX Teams Up with… Who Now?

So Musk that fella who likes to shoot things into the sky is partnerin' with these other outfits called Palantir and Anduril. Sounds like names Barney would make up for his bowling team! They're gonna build parts of this Golden Dome thing see? It's supposed to stop missiles which is good 'cause I don't want any of them flyin' into Bedrock! I like my bronto burgers crispy not missile crisped!

Trump's Big Idea: No More Missiles

Ol' President Trump thinks gettin' hit by a missile is the worst thing ever! Well I'll tell ya I think havin' to listen to Barney's harmonica solos is worse but missiles are pretty bad too. Trump wants this 'Golden Dome' built to protect everyone which is mighty neighborly of him. Even if it means gettin' a little help from those space cowboys.

Like A Flintstone Car But In Space!

These companies are talkin' about launchin' hundreds maybe even a thousand satellites into the sky. They'll be lookin' for missiles like Wilma looks for my bowling ball – everywhere! Then they're gonna have even MORE satellites to shoot down the bad missiles with lasers or maybe even giant slingshots! Now that's what I call progress! Just like my foot powered car.

A Subscription Service? That's a New One!

Here's the kicker: SpaceX wants the government to pay for this Golden Dome thing like a subscription! Like payin' for the Bedrock cable TV except instead of watchin' The Honeymooners they get missile defense! Some folks in the Pentagon are scratchin' their heads but hey if it keeps us safe I'm all for it! As long as they don't raise my taxes!

Will It Work? Only Time Will Tell Yabba Dabba Doo!

So will this SpaceX crew pull it off? Who knows! They've never built somethin' this big before. But if they can then maybe we can all sleep a little easier at night. Just imagine no more missiles flyin' around! Just me Wilma Pebbles Dino and a nice rack of ribs. Yabba Dabba Doo!
