Hmmm, he says that it will be equal in size to the USAF, which had a budget of $161 billion budget in 2017. Admitted some USAF sectors would be transferred, such as the 170 military satellites and maybe even the 406 ICBMs, but even so, financing a new military branch equivalent in size to the USAF, with its 318,415 active duty personnel, just for starts, well that's a pretty penny, so where is this money going to come from?

Undoubtedly the Republicans will want to fund it by letting children go hungry and the old go without medical care. |

What they should probably do is treat it like the Marine Corps. Smaller and purpose driven. The Marines are part of the US Navy and it would make sense for Space Force to be part of the US Air Force until it became larger than the US Air Force. There are elements in the Army, Air Force and Navy that all would fall under Space Force if the organization was put together properly. |

I could have sworn the US was signatory to an agreement that outlawed the militarization of outer space

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls. Harambe4Trump AKA "FASHY" | |

Still in effect... http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/outerspacetreaty.html RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY 2222 (XXI). Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies ARTICLE IV States Parties to the Treaty undertake not to place in orbit around the earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction, install such weapons on celestial bodies, or station such weapons in outer space in any other manner. The moon and other celestial bodies shall be used by all States Parties to the Treaty exclusively for peaceful purposes. The establishment of military bases, installations and fortifications, the testing of any type of weapons and the conduct of military manoeuvres on celestial bodies shall be forbidden. The use of military personnel for scientific research or for any other peaceful purposes shall not be prohibited. The use of any equipment or facility necessary for peaceful exploration of the moon and other celestial bodies shall also not be prohibited. |

Doubt it.... Speculation like that is baseless... The UN Resolution has held for 51 years It is far too important... More likely China would for economic gains rather than the USA |

The Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies is an international agreement to which some 227 nations, including the USA are parties. It bans the placement of weapons of mass destruction in orbit, on the moon, etc. I suspect this is Trump's back door attempt to get the USA out of this international agreement which prevents nuclear weapons from hanging over our heads. Great idea! |
