The U.S. military is more interested than ever before in stepping up investment in space startups, especially with the number of private companies building small rockets.
Last month, Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson met with Air Force leadership to discuss the capabilities of Branson's small rocket builder, Virgin Orbit. The meeting between Branson and Secretary Heather Wilson, the Air Force's top civilian, took place on Jan. 17, the Air Force told CNBC. Branson also met with Dr. Will Roper, the Air Force's acquisition head.
