beyond the memes, its something that the air force is vehemently opposed to because they're getting all the lucrative satellite appropriations right now and a space force as a new branch would cannibalize the space efforts of all the other branches, mostly the air force, and take away their funding. Which is uh, probably good in the long run.
I think the US and ultimately, the world, needs something like this, however they pull it off. The last time we went into space, everyone had a nice house, two cars and a yearly vacation, and only one parent had to work.
/e This pretty much IS the next frontier. I really hope we can get this up and going. If nothing else, we need the real estate.
