I would envision it eventually assuming control over the AF portion of NORAD, the launch site at Vandenburg, and possibly part (or all) of NASA. It will also give some General the opportunity to be involved in their favorite past time... creating uniform changes!
NASA should remain its own thing.
Will the B-52 play a prominent role? Will space command do another upgrade to get it into space and beyond?

“creating uniform changes!”
GAAAAHHHH!!! I was a huge proponent of changing the AFI so that the Uniform Board was only authorized to meet every 5 to 7 years. In my 30 years, I had 3 utility uniforms, 3 different service dress uniforms and 2 mess dress uniforms. And had to buy a black backpack and a black satchel after they decreed you couldn’t carry anything but black or digital. Oy...
