Discussion: Pence Announces New, Separate Space Force Launch By 2020

I imagine these guys are thinking some kind of Buck Rogers/Star Wars thing. Not in touch with reality. Of course, that’s not a surprise…

And the Russians and Chinese will be there waiting to greet us.

Maybe 45 or Pence can be sent up to review the troops in a zero G military parade?

The US Space Farce will be fully powered with Clean American Coal and all Spaceships built only with US steel. Dizzying speeds of up to 15 mph are anticipated. Uniform concepts by Mel Brooks, natch.

What an apt comparison! (I think Quayle was a slightly more sympathetic character than Pence)

Clarence Thomas, Bill Clinton and Dan Quayle had a spelling contest. Quayle won as he was the only contestant who knew “harass” was one word.

This. We’ll build a wall in space to stop those brown-skinned satellites overflying the America We Know and Love.

“When Zeta Reticuli sends its Reptilians, they’re not sending their best. They’re bringing abductions. They’re bringing anal probes. They’re shapeshifters. And some, I assume, are good 12-foot-tall, lizard-like humanoids.”

Good God. Space Force.

First, I thought we were signatories to a treaty that prohibited the widespread militarization of space. This would seem to be clearly counter to the spirit of that treaty. (However, looking into it further, it is not so clear).

Second, Space Force? What kind of juvenile idiot came up with that name?

Oh, wait Never mind the second point. Donald J. Trump is the “President” of the United States.
