Popular Post aussie11950 Posted August 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2018 Make space great, LOL. More than 40 million Americans are on food stamps. Thats nearly 12.5 percent of the population. This was introduced during the great depression. I think Trump should make America great for his people, before he ventures into space. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/economy/2018/07/25/snap-benefits-cities-with-most-people-on-food-stamps/37017367/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
727Sky Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I would guess most of the resistance will come from the Air Force which basically tries runs the show at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yes, a ringing endorsement from Neil deGrasse Tyson... "I don't have a strong opinion, one or the other." "In that sense, this idea is not completely crazy." And I'm shocked that the Fox channels are all in on the Space Force. Never would have seen that one coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now his administration is scrambling to provide some kind of rational. A real President would have asked for recommendations from the Pentagon and aerospace community, with some kind draft organizational structure and cost benefit analysis before going public with the idea. But thinking things through is not Trump's style. I wonder how this compares with Kennedy's "We choose to go to the moon". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Force all the way. Not sure what this comment is about, but you do realize that JFK served in WW2, right? He performed valiantly under fire. tRUmp probably freaks out at a BBQ; his bone spurs start acting up. Mueller served in Vietnam, in case you're wondering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Srikcir Posted August 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2018 4 minutes ago, Morch said: I wonder how this compares with Kennedy's "We choose to go to the moon". In the context to HeyBruce, the answer to you - no comparison. The US race for space had already begun before Kennedy during President Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration. https://www.jfklibrary.org/JFK/JFK-in-History/Space-Program.aspx NASA was created in 1958 during Eisenhower's administration as well. Skeptics questioned the ability of NASA to meet the president's timetable. Within a year, however, Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom became the first two Americans to travel into space at the beginning of Kennedy's term. After consulting with Vice President Johnson, NASA Administrator James Webb, and other officials, Kennedy concluded that landing an American on the Moon would be a very challenging technological feat, but an area of space exploration in which the U.S. actually had a potential lead. Thus the cold war is the primary contextual lens through which many historians now view Kennedy's speech. https://history.nasa.gov/moondec.html 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

EVENKEEL Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 At some point, maybe not by 2020 and maybe not Space Force but at some point this will be very real.

However that point should be when it has genuine military advantages over the current approach, not when some egomaniac President thinks it makes him look good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
