“Takes shape”?

We’re probably 5 years if not a decade behind the Chicoms & Russians and if in a year the “Space Force” had more than 2 rusty 747’s to fly generals around in, I’d be surprised.

We already have several fleets of satellites orbiting, that are actively controlled (flown) by units on the ground.

The existing Space Command (38,000 people, been around for decades) conducts other space related activities as well, like launch operations at Vandenberg AFB.
