    Golden Dome is a defensive and offensive orbital weapon system, using space-based data centers, expected to cost in excess of $1 trillion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Dome_(missile_defense_s...

    SpaceX is getting most of the money for it at this point: https://www.theverge.com/science/940207/spacex-golden-dome-s...

      Your title is editorialized. In accordance with HN's submissions guideline, it should read:

        China is building launch pads near its nuclear missile silos

        Uppercase is necessary for an acronym.

          That's not the editorialized part.

            You seem to always dismiss or deflect this topic on HN, do you have a role in Golden Dome?

              You repeatedly break the rules on this website with obvious disregard for the guidelines. You (and a few other outliers) have their comment history piped into an RSS feed that I check regularly, solely because you refuse to write ordinary comments or submissions. Your post history can even be traced across accounts with basic stylometry, nothing about your contributions are subtle, normal, or genuine.

              If you stop threadjacking submissions to promote your pet topic, then I have nothing to comment on. Don't play dumb when people call you out, you know exactly what you're doing wrong. Many users have explained the guidelines to you repeatedly.

              > do you have a role in Golden Dome?

              No. I'm not the one obsessively copywriting unrelated article titles to fit the topic, you are. Consider using another website if you can't follow HN's rules:

                Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

                I don't believe you are a HN mod, frankly this looks like harassment/stalking. Write an email to Dang if it bothers you.

    The article’s real title is “China is building launch pads near its nuclear missile silos” and doesn’t mention anything about Musk or his dome.
