Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley issued a new reading list on Friday, discussing his choices in a letter to airmen. He writes: “The list’s historical focus is based on my conviction that, in a time of accelerating change, it’s essential we fully understand the heritage upon which we’re building our future. … We must understand the history that’s made us the Air Force we are today, and we must understand the historical and political contexts, which framed the debates of the past and color people’s thinking today.” You can find the list here.
The Space Force awarded SpaceX a $4.16 billion contract on May 29 to build a constellation of satellites that can sense and track airborne targets from orbit.
