And my guess is the regulatory approvals for the purchase by IONQ will be fast tracked. This administration is all about cutting red tape, limiting bureaucracy and moving things along quickly - especially if it has to do with national security or the Golden Dome.
This purchase aligns very well with the Golden Dome initiatives. Secure satellite communications will play a big role in the Golden Dome. IONQ is positioning itself very well to be a big player in all of this.
The seeds being planted now will yield big results in the form of long term government contracts.
