I wonder what sort of immigration policies the Trump administration will mandate for  space--oh, wait, who would be the immigrants?

 

SpaceICE. (SpICE?)

 

Will separate alien babies from their parents. And round up all them damn 'ferners from other planets already here, what with their drugs and gangs (MS-OP-7) living off the dole, and stealing all our jobs.

  • More distraction from this administration. Money would be better spent on dealing with current problems rather than create a space spending race internationally. Idiots.

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.

I would guess most of the resistance will come from the Air Force which basically tries runs the show at this stage.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And just recently, it was announced Patrick Stewart will return as Captain Picard.

Coincidence? I don't think so!

People oppose it because Trump, a man with no military or aerospace experience, spewed it out without any consultation with experts while he was having one of his diarrhea of the mouth events.  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".

Not much comparison?

 

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.

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

"Spazz force"; I thought that although he meant well, it was a bit 'un-PC'; better to call them 'Special' forces, for a 'special' president

He will make space great again and he will get Mexico to pay for it

He opens with "I don't have a strong opinion" but considers the idea "not fundamentally odd".  Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

 

But I suppose "not fundamentally odd" is the best one can hope for when Trump gets involved in military matters.

and NASA

who cant even get into space anymore with astronauts, meanwhile Russia takes their astronauts up and China is landing stuff on the  moon already.

I just can't stop laughing every time I hear "space force".

At some point, maybe not by 2020 and maybe not Space Force but at some point this will be very real. Anti-Trumpers can make all the jokes they want but it will eventually happen.

Yes, at some point it probably will.  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.

Many countries, not just the US, are probably way more active in space right now than they want us to believe.

Whoever that controls space will be the new Super Power.

Constructing a grammatically correct sentence could also be considered a super power.
