WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is ramping up pursuit of a commercial capability to deliver cargo to the battlefield via space, looking for alternative sources even as it aims for a live delivery test in the next few years aboard SpaceX's Starship heavy lift vehicle. The Defense Department's near-term interest is in point-to-point delivery (P2PD) of supplies through suborbital space anywhere on the globe within 90 mins or less, with US Transportation Command particularly hopeful for the capability to rapidly drop kit into the Asia-Pacific theater in a conflict with China.
