Today Trump ordered the Pentagon to establish the 6th U.S. military branch, the U.S. Space Force.

Speaking at a meeting of the National Space Council, Trump ordered the Pentagon to immediately establish a national “space force” that would become the sixth branch of the armed forces.

“We are going to have a space force,” Trump said in Washington D.C. “An Air Force and a Space Force. Separate, but equal.”

This is not the first time that Trump has floated the idea of establishing a “space force.” The president mentioned the idea in May during a ceremony at the White House honoring the Army Black Knights college football team.

Trump did not go into details about what military role the so-called “space force” would carry out or who would command it, but he framed space as a national security issue, saying he does not want "China and Russia and other countries leading us."

The president said the United States will "be the leader by far" in space and is looking to revive the nation's flagging space program by returning the United States to the moon and soon reaching Mars.

We are now one step closer to making a squadron comprised of space wolf mounts a reality.
God bless the fucking U.S.
 
I only hope space marines are given actual military training, I would really be concerned if Trump send sentimental gorillas like the ones in The Expansion, imagine getting nuked because some faggot is on a man period.
 
So I have too thoughts here...

1. They told Trump that aliens are real.
2. I'm sorta annoyed I'm too old to join.
 
I’ll forgive him anything if he actually establishes Starfleet Academy.

Bad news for Commies, space is no longer the one place that hasn't been corrupted by Capitalism.

 
I'll never get to fulfill my dream of joining the Earth Defense Force since the United Nations sucks so badly. I guess I'll just have to settle with the Space Force.
 
At our current tech, our space force is going to have to settle for a really tall mountain.

A bit premature, considering Obama cancelled the last launch vehicle we had. We depend upon Russia to get our shit into space currently.

We only depend on Russia for astronauts. United Launch Alliance can send sats up, SpaceX and Orbital ATK (recently bought by Northrop Grumman) can send supplies to the ISS. SpaceX can use do sats and SpaceX and Boeing are working on crew vehicles and both will be doing important tests (launch abort) later this year. So, only maybe 1 to 2 more years and we'll have astronaut launch ability back and then we won't depend on Russia for anything.
