Shades of Billy Mitchell.
The difference is that there's no visionary general pushing for this. This is the president's vision, and he's getting resistance from a bunch of parasitic woketard deadwood in the Pentagon.
Part of the beauty of the Space Force is that we no longer pretend R&D for NASA is just for exploration. We're making it loud in clear in a Peace Through Strength fashion that we'll use space technology for war if necessary.
What’s the mission?
Dominate space militarily in every possible way, and then invent new ways after that.
Morons.
Who's the "moron" now?
The ultimate high ground!
Seems pretty damn UNIMAGINATIVE AND BLAND.
No.
Maybe they should reach out to muslims and fight Climate Change too all with maximum levels of diversity!
DOMINATE!

Get it?
Remember, Obama’s NASA Director actually said “Muslim outreach” was the primary mission for NASA.
That was Charles Bolden, speaking to Al-Jazeera.
I’ve known “Killer Kwast” since the early 90’s.
A good and honorable man, parents were missionaries in Africa. Smart guy. I met him in our squadron (336 Rocketeers) when he was a young 1Lt that had more time in combat than in non-combat.
As a young Lt he was on the first F-15e Top Gun team.
One of those rare officers with a genuine heart that looked out for his men.
Eager guy that wanted to do the right and moral thing at all times.
Not a me-me-me kind of guy that we often see among the flag rank.
In 1995 I was in the Pentagon working on a team that was examining the concept of a Space Force. Over the years more studies done, technology changed or was invented, and some visionaries embraced the idea and Space Force never went away. Killer was one of those visionaries.
Yes, I do!
Can you imagine saying Muslim outreach was a primary mission? Gawd.
That’s alright if we can’t discuss those items, just so long as they KNOW what’s up!
I definitely don’t want a bunch of Lt. Col. Vindmans running around douching stuff up.
We need more gold thread to weave the cloth nobody can see.
“Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies” ratified in Washington, London and Moscow in 1967. That leaves out China and India. Anyway, I guess the idea of the Space Force would be to have personnel trained and equipment on the ground ready to be launched and ready for use quickly, if needed.
And I like the t-shirt that libertariancountry.com came up with. But they’re always out of stock...
