excuse me for thinking there is something nefarious involved here.
First of all another huge waste of money, a huge increase to the national debt, money that can be better spent elsewhere, like on earth.
Second of all, does Trump get to pick who is in charge of this new branch of our military, that thought is scary.

I can envision this new military branch being used to put nukes in space, a truly scary thought.

I will laugh with the rest of you about this stupid idea, but it is only funny if it never happens.
