I think NDT makes some pretty solid points here, especially concerning people's dismissal of an idea simply because it was proposed by Trump or his Administration. Tyson actually hashes out some decent idea as to why a "Space Force" would be necessary and why we shouldn't dismiss it as a silly idea, simply because it's coming from a silly man with orange hair.
What do you guys think?
I think Neil is missing the point that the "Space Force" the orange turd wants isn't anything pragmatic but a vanity project. And it is nothing more to Trump to justify another arms race to make the global weapons industry richer.
We don't need a space force. We need better funding for NASA and our already existing intel agencies.
Trump stupidly pictures a "Space Force" like storm troopers in Star Wars.
