LOL,

Macron is running out of space in gay Paree, to store his Algerian and other muzzie buddies. He does really need more Space.

Macron announces French space force. Technology in the tradition of French Military rifles, never fired. Only dropped once.

In the early 1960’s the U.S. - Soviet space race was on and the insufferable Charles DeGaulle was president of France.

Reason?

“Because, eef zaire ees intelligent life on Mars, eet weel speak FRENCH, of course!!”

If you look at Soviet space missions, they "partnered" with the French on a number of them.
