        In the interview, I said I don’t have a strong opinion. My goal was to educate people about what a Space Force would mean, not to sway people one way or another.

        While I agree with everything you’ve said, I worry that the nuance of your message will be lost on most and distorted by others. Right now we need direct clarity. The Air Force DOES “got this.” There is no need for a separate Space Force branch...

        An attempt to create this division would negatively impact us organizationally and economically at a time when we can ill afford further structural chaos. While asteroid defense and space junk cleanup are essential global imperatives, the United States military the wrong unit..

        Loved this. I like YOUR idea of a Space Force (C’mon! How cool is that!) ‘Spect The Orange One sees it more as an opportunity to put the first Trump-branded hotel in space. Outta this world money laundering. Would a view of Earth from space cure his NPD? Let’s find out!

        I think we’re safe from that outcome. Trump isn’t wealthy enough to do that. Nobody would lend him a dime, much less that kind of money, except the Russian mob if Putin told them to.

        Was joking. The Malignant Yam is not going to build in space. He's going to be lucky to live out the rest of his life in court. Buh bye assets. Elon Musk, however, now that's a possibility.

        The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 signed by 107 countries says no. Trump would be breaking international law.

        The problem is that Trump said a space force is needed to dominate space.... quite an aggressive stance.

        If you don’t know if it’s a good idea let me tell you it is NOT. Yes space can usher in a global ethic of peace. We should not weaponise space and trash it like we have Earth from war. #NoSpaceForce #KeepSpace4Peace
