On saturday ,15 October 2022 Retracting from his stance of not being able to afford the Starlink internet service in Ukraine, Elon Musk said his rocket company SpaceX will keep funding the services despite losses, citing the need for good deeds.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said the UK economy is suffering from a "sprained ankle" but rejected the diagnosis of a "broken leg" as he painted an optimistic picture of the future. The chancellor stressed the need for “positivity” about future growth prospects as he referenced Elon Musk's recent visit to the UK. "When Elon Musk was here three weeks ago, he said there were only two centres in the world for AI, San Francisco and London.
“We’ve got a lot going for us, so if we’re going to go into dealing with the sprain, rather than the broken leg, then let’s do so from a perspective of positivity," Mr Hunt said.

NBC reports that Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young told legislators that the U.S. is “out of money — and nearly out of time” for supporting Ukraine.
I want to be clear: without congressional
action, by the end of the year we will run
out of resources to procure more weapons
and equipment for Ukraine and to provide
equipment from U.S. military stocks, Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget Director, via NBC.
There is no magical pot of funding
available to meet this moment, Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget Director, via NBC.
According to Young, failing to provide aid would , “kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield, not only putting
at risk the gains Ukraine has made, but increasing
the likelihood of Russian military victories.”.
Young reportedly urged congressional
leaders to approve the Biden administration's
supplemental spending request. .
I must stress that helping Ukraine
defend itself and secure its future
as a sovereign, democratic, independent,
and prosperous nation advances
our national security interests, Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget Director, via NBC.
It prevents larger conflict in the region
that could involve NATO and put U.S.
forces in harm’s way and deters
future aggression, making us all safer, Shalanda Young, Office of Management and Budget Director, via NBC.
Young's letter to Congress comes amid
a deadlock among lawmakers over ongoing
U.S. support for both Ukraine and Israel.

Russia Says Western, Satellites Could Be Considered, Legitimate Targets .
On October 16, a Russian Foreign Ministry official
warned that Russia could shoot down Western
commercial satellites used to aid Ukraine's war efforts.
According to 'Newsweek', Russian state news agency Tass
originally reported that these Western satellites could
be considered legitimate targets for retaliatory strikes. .
Vladimir Ermakov, head of the Foreign Ministry's Department
for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, reportedly didn't
detail which companies' satellites would be targeted. .
'Newsweek' reports that Elon Musk's
SpaceX provided Starlink satellites to
provide Ukraine with internet service.
'The Wall Street Journal' reported that other American satellite
operators including Maxar Technologies and Planet Labs PBC
are contracted by U.S. national-security agencies.
We have consistently drawn
the attention of the international
community to this dangerous trend,
which goes beyond the harmless use
of space technology, clearly
manifested during the events in Ukraine, Vladimir Ermakov, Head of the Foreign Ministry's Department
for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, via 'Newsweek'.
Obviously, the United States and its
allies are not fully aware that such
activities actually constitute indirect
participation in armed conflicts, Vladimir Ermakov, Head of the Foreign Ministry's Department
for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that the statement by Ermakov
echoes similar threats made by deputy director of
the Russian Foreign Ministry's Non-Proliferation
and Arms Control Department, Konstantin Vorontsov.
In October of 2022, Vorontsov said that "commercial,
infrastructure elements in outer space for military purposes"
by the West constitutes an "extremely dangerous trend.".
These States do not realize
that such actions in fact constitute
indirect participation in military conflicts.
Quasi-civilian infrastructure may become
a legitimate target for retaliation, Vladimir Ermakov, Head of the Foreign Ministry's Department

SpaceX’s colossal Starship spacecraft exploded during its second major test flight. But all was not in vain. The test reportedly achieved new milestones that advance Elon Musk’s crucial deep-space launch system. As the Starship spacecraft was heading to near orbit, it appeared to burst on an X livestream. Later, the hosts of the livestream said that Starship likely had been lost. They believe that the vehicle’s flight termination system activated while the vehicle was attempting to reach near orbit. The flight termination system is used to destroy a rocket if it starts to malfunction or deviates from its flight path during a launch.
