Trump’s Golden Dome will cost 10 to 100 times more than the Manhattan Project

The article discusses the potential cost of former President Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" project, which is intended to protect the United States from nuclear attacks. According to the article, the cost of the project could be 10 to 100 times more expensive than the Manhattan Project, which led to the development of the first atomic bomb. The article suggests that in the nuclear age, it has been more cost-effective to develop offensive weapons rather than defensive systems. The author argues that the proposed Golden Dome project, which aims to create a protective shield against nuclear attacks, is likely to be an extremely expensive undertaking. The article does not provide a specific cost estimate for the Golden Dome project, but it suggests that the project's cost could be prohibitively high, especially when compared to the relatively lower cost of developing offensive nuclear weapons. The article concludes by raising concerns about the feasibility and practicality of the proposed project.
