You're talking past everything I said. Do you have any sources for your claim that space based datacenters are dual-use?

Easy: https://www.kratosspace.com/constellations/articles/data-cen...

SDA’s “Battle Management Layer will provide automated space-based battle management through command and control, tasking, mission processing and dissemination” to support time-sensitive kill-chain closure. https://www.sda.mil/battle-management

Golden Dome and future missile tracking and ISR will depend on real -time insights, which requires Edge Computing on orbit, running advanced AI/ML algorithms.” https://unibap.com/news/defense-in-the-foreground

sorry can't help you with your user feuds

The only link that you provided mentioning dual-use satellites is from a Swedish defense contractor at an expo.

Is SDA "tracking and targeting" on consumer satellites, or are they not? Let's narrow this down to your initial claim.

They're still physically the same Starlink satellites being used for Golden Dome.
