Trump Wants Space Force by 2020

[rainman + 263]

President Donald Trump’s administration on Thursday announced an ambitious plan to usher in a new “Space Force” as the sixth branch of the military by 2020, but the proposal was scorned by opponents and may struggle to get liftoff in a divided Congress. Trump has strongly championed the idea of creating a space-focused military service with the same stature as the Air Force and the Army, turning his dreams of a “Space Force” into a rallying cry for supporters at political events. His 2020 reelection campaign sent a fundraising email on Thursday asking supporters to vote on their favorite Space Force logo for future Trump campaign merchandise, offering a choice of six. U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, in an address at the Pentagon, described the Space Force as “an idea whose time has come.”

There are only a handful of nations that have been able to reach space.  The United States and Russia continue to dominate the space race and now private American companies are doing it.

Weaponizing space is the most immoral thing any nation could do. This will lead to nuclear weapons hanging over countries like hammers of death. The Space was peaceful place...
