In the high-stakes world of defense satellites where failure is not an option, is Sidus Space taking a dangerous shortcut? The company markets its LizzieSat constellation as a “mission-critical” solution for government and intelligence clients, but a deep dive into its hardware reveals a startling choice: a powerful, commercial-grade NVIDIA processor that was never designed to withstand the harsh radiation of space. This episode exposes the critical mismatch between Sidus’s celestial promises and its terrestrial parts, and connects this technical gamble to a broader pattern of promotion involving its underwriter, ThinkEquity, and the cautionary tale of Draganfly. We’ll also question whether a U.S. Army contract for ground-based manufacturing is being used to create a misleading halo of legitimacy around a potentially flawed space venture.
