I can see anti-satellite missiles on ships, too. Mobile and the oceans are huge.

Land forces
Naval forces
Air Forces
Cyber Forces
Space Forces

Are all needed in modern warfare.

Asymmetrical, like 4D chess. The threat doesn’t know where the strike is coming from. And all provide needed inputs to intelligence, counter-intelligence, deception, and strike capabilities.

A space force is forward thinking as nextgen warfare is already here.

Capable armed forces are needed to fight the next war technically, & not apply “last war” technology and techniques.

It’s a reorganizing of all the already existing military space divisions under one roof to give it the focus it needs. What’s wrong with that?

You seem to be arguing about NASA.

Maybe even submarine launched. Which would be a new mission for ballistic subs.

Um, anyone who thinks we don’t already have a Space Force isn’t paying attention. President Trump is just making it public knowledge. See the F-117 Stealth Fighter and SR-71 programs for examples of how this works. What, anyone thinks we really paid $600 each for hammers and $10,000 each for toilet seat covers? Lol. It’s called black budgets. Duh.

I sincerely hope that the first Commanding General of the Space Force is General Buck Rogers!

Go to Google (or Duck, Duck, Go) and look up Operation BURNT FROST. A decade ago, a USN cruiser shot down an out-of-control satellite.

Bingo, Piytar.

Here are a few videos documenting the existence of the primary asset of our newly titled Space Force, which is capable of in-atmosphere or out-of-atmosphere operations.

Say hello to the TR3-B Astra

As I said later, submarine launched anti-satellite missiles are a great use for ballistic subs.
