This is John Batson, a conversation with colleague Henry Sikolsky about Golden Dome.

What is it? Where is it going? How much will it cost?

It's not Henry asking these questions. It's Congress, both parties, both sides of the House, both sides of the Senate.

The appropriators, the people with the money, the people with the

policy approval, where is it going? When? How much? Hasnary has much more to say. Here's Henry

Sikovsky, Golden Dome. Great concept, but needs details.

It's not clear, and it's a point of friction,

not just with Democratic critics of the Golden Dome project,

but for Republican appropriators who have spoken out and said,

I'd like to get a story.

I'd like to understand what the missions will be, roughly, what the schedule might be, roughly how we're going to do all of this. And I don't think they're yet satisfied

that they're getting the answers they want.
