“..... Still can’t figure out why we need a “Space Force” when we already have the Air Force’s “Space Command” which was founded in 1982.”
Instead of creating a new bureaucracy I would roll it within the Air Force. Manned aircraft is on a downward trend anyway. So, the Air Force could create a new division within the Air Force similar to the Navy’s Submarine Force. Anyway, that’s my two bits, we don’t need a whole bunch of new generals, star fleet commanders, etc.
... Like I said .... The Air Force already has "Space Command" founded in 1982 which has Space as their jurisdiction ....
