Im actually excited about this, but I think itll get screwed up.

nope, we need to start shutting the government down, not starting new weaponized departments that will be used against us.
Like ArmyJ, Im not so keen on the 'Space Force' but I do like his initiative to take us back into space, or more accurately, to continue our exploration of the extra terrestrial universe.
JFK gave us a vision that made us the leaders, lets continue that.
"The president said the United States will “be the leader by far” in space and is looking to revive the nation's flagging space program by returning the United States to the moon and soon reaching Mars. "

So war with humans wasn't enough and now we need to start wars with other beings? Sounds great.
It's a better idea than the idiots sending out signals into space hoping someone/something hears it. That's fucking dumb!
I always figured we’de do it like we always have. The Navy would fight the space battles and drive the Marines to the alien’s home planet where they would kick their asses and blow them back to the Stone Age. 
That’s actually a pretty valid point. Sort of like breaking your leg out in a field and jamming the rabbit scream predator call....

You're assuming there are beaches for grunts to run up. More than likely, it'll be Army coming in to save the day, as we have the best ability to hover and get shit done...
Bullshit aside, I hope this is a play from Reagan's handbook and we're just looking to bankrupt China or Russia in a space race.
No matter what, if Trump is gonna play this game it needs to be fully fucking funded. Not one Gaddamn red cent borrowed.
Every day we have more going out than coming in. We couldn't fully fund a cheeseburger.
This is 2016. The ratios are similar. We’re on a water slide. Our biggest expenses are entitlements that continue to grow (YES, SS IS an entitlement, there is no money in it). Yellow, red, and green are growing the fastest and will consume the whole thing right before it collapses.
what the hell is income security?
Welfare.
Yes, our history has shown that when two cultures meet the more advanced always acts benevolently and enhances/promotes the thriving existence of the less technological culture.
Just ask the Aztecs or Australian Aboriginals. The Sioux also give this meeting of cultures two thumbs up.
Do who’s gonna get the contract to build x-wing fighters?
im assuming instead of dealing with aliens and ray guns.....they are more concerned with Spy satellites and ICBMs
if i had to guess its going to be taking over more of the intelligence gathering and countermeasures that are currently under Navy and Airforce command....since we dont have Spy planes anymore since weve gone to spy satellites.

Actuallly, I think they are gonna start construction on the Death Star soon. Zapping political dissidents from space yo
Space Farce...
We have enough problems on this fucked up planet of ours. Let's try and solve a few of our own problems before we go ruining other planets.

Fuck that. I want OUT! I'm on the 2050 Mayflower with bells on. It's manifest destiny that the organic virus of humanity infect the galaxy, and I want to get in on the ground floor.

We've had 12 Jewish astronauts. I don't know the number but there are a shit-ton of Jewish aerospace engineers and scientists who have worked for NASA and our defense industry over it's history. For a tiny minority they've had a massive impact on all Western science and technology, and have been "overrepresented" thousands of times over in the field. Half of the Manhattan Project scientists were Jewish.
Once again "The Jewish Problem" rears its ugly head.
With the threat of a superior hostile alien society it could be worse . Fat hairy SJW alien feminists .
That's a great idea for the uniform.
Years ago, I used to watch a show called The Outer Limits...it was a sci-fi series, with hour-long episodes, and many of them were pretty good. The best ones, were the ones that were "close to home", in terms of the possibility that they could actually happen...
"The US Space Force" reminds me of this one:
We'll eventually end up biting off more than we can chew...

So explain to me.......someone pays a SS tax, along with their employer, for 40 plus years, and they expect to get a check from the government when they retire, and you say it is an entitlement........I'm betting you didn't vote for the winner in the last presidential election......
Jerry.......I'm not saying it's not broke, I'm saying it is not an entitlement.......and if you think everyone that receives a SS check is on welfare, you are just as fucking stupid as I always thought you were......If you are retired, or your parents, brothers, sisters.......I would guess they get a SS check........are they on welfare?.......my mother is 90 years old.....she has a pension, but also gets a SS check.....she is not on welfare.......my wife is retired, she gets a SS check, she is not on welfare, so fuck you, and fuck off.
I hear ya, but if there is no money there and they are giving you money by borrowing from your great great grand kids then its an entitlement. We let them use that money for voter bribes now its broke and you and me someday will be collecting that welfare. Its similar to the 10's of thousands I pay for medical, most of that money gos to people who pay nothing , hell half of them are not even citizens, that is now considered a tax by the supreme court, John Fucktard Roberts said so. Social Security is a tax and thus an entitlement that can be taken away and given to someone else on a whim. You and Us have been played, you got scammed, your government hates you, you are nothing more than a burden now that you are retired. They fucked you over they fucked over your family and now they are going to get rid of your ass so you dont make too much noise or collect too many services that you think you paid for. Sorry to be the one to break the news.
SS is a forced lottery where the mob takes it all home. If you die young, you lose. If you don’t, the verdict is still out. Berney maydoff went to jail for the same damned thing. He should have ran for office.
If it was a pension fund (“fund” being the operative word) I might agree with you. It isn’t. It’s taxes, welfare, and a scam. The only reason it isn’t an actual Ponzie scheme/scam is that the marks are aware it’s a ponzie scheme and a scam. The fact it’s broke and pays out of revenues it confiscates is not a secret.
And we have FDR The great American destroyer to thank for that. The New Deal. The let me fuck you up the ass and tell you how much you like it.
True, but it is over run with political bullshit..........
Australia is planning to create its own space agency, but there is a big but about what it might be named.
Or should we say "butt."
On Monday, the Australian government announced plans to create a space agency in order to get its share of the booming space aeronautical industry, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
By Tuesday, there was a website for an organisation called Australian Research and Space Exploration ― or "ARSE" for short. And, yes, it's selling T-shirts with the logo.
The website might look and sound official to a passing observer, but, alas, ARSE has nothing to do with the real Australia space agency, which has yet to formally announce its name.

The most exciting time in Australia’s history has now been announced. It’s now time for us to understand and explore our universe #space_aus

The ARSE website claims the organisation's strategic long-term plan "is to support the development [and] implementation of advanced space technologies, [and] growing our local space industry." Its mission statement claims Australia is "in a unique position" to capitalise and invest in space exploration.
The Irish Examiner reports that said the lack of an official .gov.au web address is the first sign that ARSE has a dubious connection to the actual Australia space agency.
The other clue is the backside of one of the t-shirts being sold on the website: "That's one giant step for man, one giant leap for down under."
The unidentified team behind the website told both The Examiner and Mashable that ARSE is an independent campaign to promote Australia's space program.
Then the puns came full force.
"We urge the public to get behind a new space program that will explore the deep unknown," the site told The Examiner.
So, no, ARSE isn't really the name for Australia's space agency, but some people don't want to let that dream die.
