President Trump raised eyebrows earlier this year when he announced plans to create a “Space Force,” which would become the sixth branch of the military.
Vice President Mike Pence later announced in a speech that the branch was needed in order for the US to maintain military dominance in space. The proposed Space Force is estimated to cost $13 billion in its first five years.
And despite some snickers among political observers, renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn’t think the Space Force is that crazy of an idea. But Tyson, one of the authors of “Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military,” has a note of caution.

Trump should put Tyson in charge. /s
Tyson might work well as someone to look for ways to make Muslims feel better about themselves.

What a slobbering toad.
According to Wikipedia he never spent a day in uniform.
Tyson should stay put of politics - and theology.
He is a real libtard AND an Atheist.
I am afraid I am a bit confused. How would you do the Space Force ‘wrong?’ And how would this be a ‘fatal mistake?’ Compared to not setting up a Space Force at all.
I don’t know. I think I saw him in a uniform outside a movie theater years ago tak ok taking tickets.
Didn’t Neil rape a teenage girl?
The Space Force has essentially been around since the 90’s. Now just making it formal.
Affirmative Action Force
Yes. but he's a liberal Democrat, so she doesn't get "believed."
Come to think of it, a lot of things could be a fatal mistake if done wrong. Hold my beer . . . .
