The military-industrial complex marches on. I'm not all that surprised. I'm more surprised that this didn't happen sooner. Given all the civilian assets in orbit about Earth -- namely GPS, communications, and weather satellites -- in conjunction with dubious states with space capabilities (Russia, China, and probably soon North Korea), it's probably not a completely bad idea to have some kind of force policing outer space near Earth. However, I would rather see such a force operating as a unit of the United Nations.

I can’t deal.

Too much space between the ears.
