We can start a gofundme page to get a rocket built to send Trump into space.

No spacesuit of course.

And only one way.

I'm all for it.

Interesting. Is that what military forces do - mine? No wonder, that US miners can't catch a break, when they have to compete with the whole tax-funded "defense" industry...  Rolleyes

Trump is not empowered to create a dedicated space force. That would require amending the National Security Act of 1947 (which created the US Air Force) and is something only the Legislative Branch can do.

Trump is talking out of his ass, as usual.


He told pentagon to study it. He is not empowered to act without congressional approval upon it.

But that is hardly relevant to the fact that militarization of space will greatly accelerate just because of this.

You think so? I think few people in the know take him seriously.

Trump is a jackass and a clown - even a large percentage of his supporters recognize this. I don't see this nonsense going anywhere.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
