Re: President Trump creates 'space force' as sixth military branch
James Jaeger should volunteer to be the first space cadet for the force.

This both Trumpian and inexplicable.

Enlistment will be through the roof. Young men from across the country will be scrambling to be the first actual space cadets in the US military. "Space cadet" is not a joke any more!

That is a really good question. The only way we would need a space force is if we were going into space in force. Donald Trump would not create something impractical. He would create something outlandish, but he would not create something impractical.
Maybe the Woodward drive works. Maybe they perfected atomic rockets. Maybe Elon Musk got a contract that is truly out of this world. It is going to be an exciting time!

Re: President Trump creates 'space force' as sixth military branch
I would rather see the government spending billions on a military that's in space than on the ground. And the farther away the better.
At least money spent on space technology will expose us to "frontier shock," what Robert Zubrin says a civilization needs in order to avoid stagnation. And there is no more stagnant civilization at this time than Earth civilization.

Re: President Trump creates 'space force' as sixth military branch
I think space infrastructure is something that could genuinely change our lives dramatically for the better, and this seems like a way to justify building out that infrastructure. I'm not a fan of militarizing space, but I'm also not naive enough to think that China and Russia aren't already going down that path. Nobody can allow a space military gap, eh?

Go lucid!
I am finally tracking with you 100%!

Spike,
"Young men from across the country will be scrambling to be the first actual space cadets in the US military."
Yes, the enthusiasm could be Yuuuge.
He could have meetings with Boeing and its major Corpo space competitor, and of course both Musk and his arch enemy, the enigmatic bald, richest man in the world with his own spaceport in Texas - Bezos of Amazon!
Tell them all - "Look boys; you got space dreams and I think you all may be visionaries.
Many of the worlds great advances in modern times have come from men who made big new moves.
Lets dovetail the US effort so as to grow your dreams, because I think it will advance the US if as many as three or four US space companies are successful up there."
