      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.

          In other s words since you didn’t bash it because Trump came up with it if it had been Obama you would have heralded him a visionary genius. We know the lib play book lol. Nice to see you tried though! #babysteps

          Such a great idea that Ronald Reagan already did it in 1982 🤣 Look up AFSPC (Air Force Space Command) - I highly doubt Trump even knows it exists. lol

          First, I think CNN is misleading the public a little with the title of the YouTube upload. deGrassse Tyson says it’s not a fundamentally odd idea when you consider how branches of the military have adapted to changes in capability and implementation...

          within the territorial limitations of those new technologies. It only need become a reality if the Air Force decides they can no longer handle space under their political jurisdiction. That is a different message than, “trumps Space Force not a weird idea.”

          Personally, this so called ‘Space Force’ idea sounds like a ruse for weaponizing Earth’s orbit. Like Reagan’s Star Wars program. I can’t trust it will be used for anything productive because it’s ripe for the kind of political posturing we see within the biosphere.
