SPACE FORCE! SPACE FORCE! SPACE FORCE!

[Alpha One Seven]

Yes, I did. You still haven't said why NASA should be rolled into a new branch of the military? Are we going to start sending up astronauts with guns now? I mean currently there are only 6 people in space so one dude with a gun could take over all that shit. Other than that it's just military satellites and as I said, the Air Force already does a great job at handling those. Best case is we'd take all of the people from the Air Force that currently work in their Space portion (they have a name but I can't recall) and move them to the new Space Force and pay a bunch more money to get the same shit done.

I didn't say that in any way at all, maybe you didn't read what I said...here's a recap:

NASA is the space force.

I still don't see anything about guns or military in there...

Which I corrected by saying the Air Force handles all of our military assets in space, so they are the real "Space Force" which led us down this thread of bullshit.

My only problem with NASA being space force is astronauts are a bunch of pussy scientists. If DARPA gives them plasma rifles or something. They would probably just melt their feet off.

pew pew pew ow my foot! and so forth.

Governing by fear. More of the same old/same old.
Back in the early days of the "space race" (yea, I remember that) I though we signed agreements, or at least stated our intention, to not militarize space.

Didn't a bunch of countries also sign to not build nukes?

I like it. Would rather we figured out how to curb cyber crime first...
