We have NASA for civilian exploration of air and space. ~ If we start ‘militarizing’ space, there will be a war in space and we will sufferĪlternatively, if the US doesn’t prepare for war in space but China and Russia do, then all will be hearts and flowers, right? This is thinking well below the level of the funny meme, by someone who arrogantly believes he is erudite. Nations can have weapons, just not ‘weapons of mass destruction’. That’s not what the Outer Space Treaty actually says. ~ We are not allowed to have weapons in space Space Force is largely about satellites, which are almost entirely unmanned. Right, space bases will be in space, just like air bases are in the air. ~ Putting troops in space is too expensive If you think the Space Force is about aliens, you’re thinking at the funny meme level but without the funny. It has been around in the Air Force and Army for decades. In fact, the idea of a Space Force didn’t start with President Trump. In short, any argument of the form ‘must be stupid because Trump wants it and he’s an idiot’ Is sufficient to judge the speaker or writer as an idiot, not Trump. It is entirely beside the point whether Trump is an idiot or not. So any idea Trump pushes may or may not have come from him. Like most presidents, Trump probably gets many of his ideas from his staff. What I found was largely on the intellectual level of the funny memes. from SpaceForceĪfter enjoying a few chuckles (sounds like chirps, but that’s how weasels laugh), I went looking for serious commentary about the arguments for and against a space force, and maybe the form it would take. (I don’t know the artist and need help to find he/she/it). My humble suggestion for the new Space Force badge.
