(The image I) Space X Starship launch for a test flight
The year 2020 was the year of private space corporations. Elon Musk launched the new spacecraft design, and that thing is a very innovative thing and a big step for technical research and development work. The private space corporations are proved that space doesn't belong to governments anymore. And that is a big step but also a big challenge for the nations.
We might say that year 2020 was the worst year ever, but the pandemics show that we might change our lifestyle. And the end of epidemics is coming closer every day. The year 2020 was the year when we get the first message from an unknown location. The difference between this mysterious signal was that it was the first reported signal transmitted by using synthetic frequency. Maybe we someday find out the thing that transmitted that signal.
The way scientists reported that the signal came from the direction of the Proxima Centaurishows the changes in attitudes. The SETI-program is not a hoax anymore. We hope that the signal has a natural source, but the natural or man-made source can be more frightening than any alien could ever be. The thing is that there could be something, that is hidden even from the presidents. And if we are thinking about the new space shuttles, what are made by Elon Musk and Space X- corporation, we must remember that those corporations are operating by permission of the government.
So the Space X new VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) Starship shuttle might be in public only because somebody wants to tell only that those shuttles existed. So there could be similar shuttles in some area, which is using similar technology, but which has the stealth body for covering their position.
The base, what is required must not be very big, and there is the possibility that the rocket would fly inside the "sound channel", which means that it will fly inside the sound tunnel, which denies the sound of the rocket engines to go through that sound barrier. The thing is that the systems, that Space X corporation is creating interest governmental actors like NASA and NRO. And the last one of those offices operates the reconnaissance satellites of the USA.

(Image II) Virgin Galactic suborbital shuttle launch
The newest shuttle-concepts are launched from the airborne, which decreases the noise problems of the rocket engines. Those small shuttles can operate at least in suborbital missions (Image II). Many people have not understood that the same airborne launching platforms which are used to launch tourist shuttles to space can use to launch cruise missiles or the new hypersonic glide vehicles (HGV:s). And they can also carry hypersonic cruise vehicles (HCV).
The thing that makes hypersonic vehicles interesting can be used to send small satellites to the orbiter. The mission profile could be that the hypersonic aircraft just pulls the satellite after it, and then accelerate above the atmosphere. Then the system will start to dive, and the long wire can be used as the sling. That space sling will give extra speed for a small satellite.
The weaponized HGV is the small-size space shuttle, that carries an internal nuclear detonator. The difference between HGV and HCV sometimes mentioned that the HGV is going out from the atmosphere when they are making the ballistic jump, but also HCV can make a ballistic jump. But the same systems, that are carrying the nuclear detonators can also use the send satellites to the orbiter.
