SpaceX's satellite network is quietly taking over the skies above us, but Elon Musk's space empire extends far beyond providing internet to the world. Behind the public Starlink project lies Starshield - a secretive military operation with classified satellites so mysterious that neither SpaceX nor the government will acknowledge their existence.
