With President Trump's establishment of a space force, the United States military officially begins a quest to leave Earth's bounds, opening countless political repurcussions and questions. Forefront in my mind is the claims to territory, including the moon, mars and asteroids. By being the first military force in space with the United States lay claim to all of these resources ensuring hegemony for generations to come? And more importantly, will the United States alone be able to stand against xenos scum?

Memes like this are illegal in the EU now. Do you think you'll be prosecuted by the EU for free speech, or executed by the caliphate of france for apostacy?

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.

in a budgetary meta where i've been calling for decreased military spending it seems trump would rather isolationism and complex economy.
