Sorry.

Point is, I doubt an entirely new branch of service for what is currently a small mission-set is a workable idea.


I agree with that. Air Force is already the smallestof the three major branches, in budget, and most of the proposed new branch would be stuff taken off the Air Force. So it's not like they'd be a breaking up a branch because it's too big.

So Trump is making this then? As big a sci-fi fan as I am, I think I'd prefer universal healthcare. Or, at least averting the complete destruction of our healthcare system.

In so far as marines is concerned: don't we have a space treaty in place that specifically forbids to test and deploy weaponry in space?

Even in the holy realm of dakka, value for money matters.

Rather than lasers which you can't even see from the ground, what you want is nukes. Some really serious flash which you can watch without getting fried (Van Allen belts and atmosphere will protect you). Think of it as fireworks, but not just for the rich in their big cities. For everyone!

Cory Gardner seems to be under a lot of fire. Another one who had disabled people arrested at his office from the sounds of it, and will probably vote on the bill. Mind you, in a swing state. Hope those in Colorado vote him out when you get the chance.

Probably not, considering most people who've held his position have historically been Republican.

America triggers Kessler syndrome ... thereby destroying all global positioning system, communication and spy satellites, rendering trillions of dollars worth of its own weapon systems useless ...

Yeah, seems like the kind of dumbassed thing Trump would do.

Kinda surprised because it isn't really rare for Colorado to vote Democrat.

It appears so. I wish NASA didn't deny it but instead confirmed it just so all the idiots who believed it would die trying to reach mars on a homemade rocket

Well, it's chaired by Mike "cancel the space exploration program" Pence.




I’m honored and frankly enthusiastic about the role @POTUS has asked me to play in renewing our nation’s commitment to space.


Isn't that just the least enthusiastic claim to enthusiasm you've ever read?

Meanwhile, NASA doesn't have an administrator, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy lacks a director.
