Trump touts plan for military space force. "“You will be part of the five proud branches of the United States armed forces: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and the Coast Guard,” Trump said.

“And we’re actually thinking of a sixth, and that would be the Space Force. Does that make sense? Because we’re getting very big in space, both militarily and for other reasons. And we are seriously thinking of the Space Force,” he said."

Look at it like this for a weapon in space all you need is something of great mass and hurl it towards earth. A controlled meteor so to say, all it is is mathematics with it's trajectory to hit a target. Think about it, a solid object preferably a very hard material maybe the size of a small car dropped from space could be the same as a nuclear weapon if not greater without the radiation and fallout. It's only a matter of time before another country does it the United States of America should be the first for a "safer" (and I use that word loosely) world. This type of technology in the wrong hands is sure to used as a weapon of terror and possibly allow a country to have total global control.

Are they going to have uniforms like the "troopers" in "Star Wars?" That would be awesome...I might join if I'm not too old.

This is just more Trump bullshit... like his health care plan that will cost less and cover more people, or his "secret plan" to totally defeat ISIS in three months, or his plan to create more jobs.

@germangirl90439 LMAO... Thanks. When talkign about Trump I need a good laugh now and then.

Hysterical. The USAF has had a "Space Command" for decades. The U.S. Navy is capable of shooting down anything in near-earth-orbit with our Aegis missile frigates. We're already there.

It will have to be an International Space Force if there is to be any militarization of outer space. This guy talks out of his ass all the time.

Then again, he might also be planning to remove us from any space-related treaties. I suppose that would have to be with consent of the senate? Feasible now, but probably not after the 2018 elections.

When has actual ownership stopped greed and "Manifest Destiny?
No one owns the area around the North Poles either but since climate change and the rapid melting of glacial sea ice, almost every northern nation, greedy for any available natural gas and oil, suddenly has a multitude of icebreakers and research vessels in the area.

Trump is so stooopid that he hasn't figure out that we need to actually inhabit another planet before we can even think about having a military presence there.

President Trump best President EVER! And the Snowflakes will cry, and cry, and cry.

Whenever he says things like "we're seriously thinking of..." or "a lot of people are saying..." it means whatever just came out of his mouth was made up on the spot. There's no "we" who are thinking about this. If there is, he wildly misunderstood what those people were saying.

Its just talk at this point.

Yes, just talk from an egocentric narcissist who slavish admires strongmen such as Putin and Kim Jong-un and was jealous he didn't have his own huge military parade. Who also when recently was depositioned by Mueller, demanded a list of the questions before submitting his legal replies. With all that he has freely gotten away with, who knows what else he'll demand?
