>tfw you realize the Space Force will mean Space related activities will get military level funding

It won't happen, pretty much anyone who actually has any authority on the matter hates the idea (Mathis particularly has been vocal about how bad of an idea he thinks it is), and I really doubt any extra funding would be allocated just for that, maybe only funding for supplying- and training-related activities rather than actual exploration and research.

Bullshit. It's inevitable. But it won't be fucking space marines or any such. It'll be a bunch of people in chairs monitoring weapons platforms. Maybe an extremely small contingent on actual space stations.

Boeing is very happy about this.

I should probably clarify, I agree that it's inevitable in the end, but I just don't think it will happen with this administration or even for another maybe decade.

You can keep the "good funding" my friend. We prefer it like this

Hey Jimmy, I got this idea. You know how we are having trouble getting all these smart guys to enlist, yeah? Well, these kids, there all about the Space Wars and the StarX you know? So how about we make a branch of the military called the Space Force! Yeah, yeah, all these guys will sign up and then you'll have em patrolin' the "space" around Iran.

his entire presidency has been him just seeing what he can get away with. i'm surprised a 6th branch hasn't come up sooner.

Trumps new Space Force is going to be intense. It's going to do the job that NASA, the Air Force and secret contracts with Lockheed Martin already do.
All that is gonna happen is so many millions of dollars get allocated, Trump hires some croney of his to run it and said croney goes on a tour of the cape, makes a call to the air force(it's to big to find and go visit) and sits back down in Washington to proceed to spend previously mentioned millions. No one bothers to tell Trump about the secret Lockheed contracts.
