He should have just assigned that role to the Navy - they have experience is maintaining ships over long distances.
Just another bureaucracy, IMO.
More taxation, more bureaucrats, more laws, more crap and more wars; it never ends.

“Space Force won’t increase our competitive advantage in space, or make America any safer. It’s just another layer of military bureaucracy that we’ll have to pour buckets of money into. I think taxpayers deserve better.”

DoD bureaucracy needs to be reduced, not expanded... the Air Force already has a Space Command.
This bill wasn’t worth giving Liberian illegals in MN amnesty, bad precedent.
The term ‘Space Cadet’ has been redeemed.
There should have been a Cyber Force created first. Maybe in the next term. I’m not advocating for an infinitely expanding military, rather a separate force would starve the other branches and the defense contractors of money that is building redundant capacity and driving up the costs because they’re getting the branches to compete for scarce talent to train, staff and support that redundant capacity.
We fell behind not because we didn't have a Space Force. We fell behind because we are stupid to realize space is the HIGH GROUND from where all wars will be fought.
This is SDI part 2. Designed to force the Chinese to spend to try and keep up, ultimately toppling their teetering economy.
I’ve seen this comment from that signing floating around:
“I have seen it and I’ve seen much of it in action, and I’ve
frankly never seen anything like it in my life.”
But as much as I would personally love for that comment to be
just about exotic space force hardware, I feel I must share
our President’s comment in full context...
“Our military is now dominant against any of our competitors
and if you saw where we started from not so long ago, you’d
really be amazed. I want to thank everybody, but I want to
also thank those great companies that really designed,
made, this equipment because I have seen it and I’ve seen
much of it in action, and I’ve frankly never seen anything
like it in my life.”

Remember when he watched those two SpaceX boosters land
side by side? (That hardware system could also be easily in
line to get a human anywhere on the planet in 30 minutes.)
Just saying.

Are Marines the fifth, or part of the Navy?
How ironic! Rediculous $ spent on other things, and the Trump ‘conservative’ critics focus on a Space Force.
We really should be asking ourselves this: what does he know that we don’t that causes him to want a Space Force? (I’m not any part of the agency alphabet soup, I don’t know … but he’s been spot-on everywhere else, so let’s assume he’s neither lying to us or crazy and see what that implies.)
Thanks to President Trump, The Force, has a name.
Every branch of service has some kind of “space” organization. It makes sense to combine them as Space Force does. Anyone familiar with space combat knows that there is far more going on in space than the other branches.
Here’s why we need a Space Force.
