Trump orders creation of a standalone Space Force

Yes, you have made your position clear several times. Have a great day.

 

None the less, this is simply a ploy to get airtime on Fox, particularly given that nothing else seems to be looking too good in Trumpworld.

It will require an act of Congress, just as the creation of NASA did.

Trump has no plan. This is just fodder for his cable TV news following. it will be forgotten by Friday afternoon.

 

Our satellites can be and are already protected from attack.

The best defense a satellites has when being attacked is to radically maneuver to avoid the attack.

USAF Space command already controls maneuvering of US military and sensitive government satellites.

 

Would love to. Care to pick a topic?

 

And if the Chinese deploy space manned fighters or light warships with weapons and tech to locate and shoot these down then turn their payloads of likely nukes on the USA from orbit they might even manage to shoot down missiles as they are fired and enter orbit but before they can re-enter. Unless we maintain some similar capability or a counter capability of our own.

And we end up fighting aliens we will need it.

 

Then the US would deploy its Gundam war mechs and destroy the Chinese before going to fight a break dance battle with Godzilla.

Seriously, none of what you said has any relationship with reality.

 

Let's start with your military service.

 

Would prefer not to talk about my personal/professional life with a complete stranger on an internet forum. Thanks, but no thanks. I meant pick a debate topic, but I will say that serving in the military doesn't automatically make you an expert, especially considering your assertion that the Air Force should not exist.

 

The reason the Air Force should never have existed is that the Army already had air combat on its menu. I have seeing federal government expand. It's been nice chatting. Best of luck to you.

 

Non-nuclear orbital strike weapons that rely purely on kinetic energy would eliminate the need of nuclear weapons, sounds like a win. Coupled with already mentioned arguments, I see no reason to fault Trump in this...

 

SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR THE NEW SPACE FORCE! Over a million space rocks could strike Earth with more energy than a nuclear bomb, and we don’t know where most of them are.

 

Bingo !

 

Space Force, mount up!

 

Once again, a Trumpette resorting to cartoons because he can't engage in reasoned discussion. Keep "making America great again."

 

This is actually a more clever idea than anything the Trumpster has thought of ever in his life.

 

Space is the next 'maintaining air superiority during war' if we don't get there other rivals will, the country that can control space controls the air and the ground at some point plus if we are going into space permanently at some point we need to defend our interests with a combat ability I'm not naïve enough in the goodwill of humans to be good as we travel to the stars.

 

If you knew anything about the real world conditions of space, you would know it’s functionally impossible to control it.

 

You're beating a dead horse , if Trump told these Trump Humpers that **** smelled good they would put it around their house.

 

This is almost as good as Moon Base Gingrich.

 

That's right!

THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: Deterring World War III with Trump’s Space Force.



Russia, China, and the United States are developing weapons with which to attack the space assets of an enemy during a conflict.

The creation of a Space Force will enable a trillion-dollar economy beyond the Earth. The new, space-faring branch of the military will increase spending on crucial technologies. A powerful Space Force would keep the peace in the heavens, thus ensuring that its commercial development will continue unimpeded by war.
