Agree completely.

What’s funny about this - you could have a debate about whether a ‘space Marine’ is necessary, or possible.

Nobody thought you could fire accurately from the rigging of a ship. Then in WWI, nobody thought that these green ‘US Marines’ that Pershing was coming over with could hold their own, or fire accurately, in battle.

I’m probably wrong about Space and Marines and the relevance question. I suppose if we were going to send a party to a new planetoid, it may as well be Marines.

It’s just another beach, but the waves are electromagnetic, right?
