Because the explicit militarization of space will work out so well for everyone. Expecting privateers in geosynchronous orbit in 5,4…

I don’t know where you got that from. The US is a signatory to the Outer Space Treaty. It was one of the first nations to sign. Check Wikipedia.

He can forget about Luke Skywalker & Han Solo. Those guys are flaming libtards, I hear.

I think it’s part of the GOP plan to basically dismantle NASA and any other science-oriented agency within the government.

WMDs in space - yes. But it doesn’t appear to “ban” a host of assorted offensive and defensive weapons in space.

Actually, I think he accidentally stumbled on “The Expanse” and thought: “Cool!” I need one of those.

Yes, but you might read the treaty.
And bear in mind the question:
Isn’t the US a signatory to an international treaty forbidding the militarization of space?

This isn’t a terrible idea on its face (the Air Force and the Navy have different space assets that they use for different things, and maybe combining those force structures would make sense), but I have confidence that he arrived at the conclusion through terrible reasoning.
Best guess is that Trump floated the idea previously and wasn’t met with universal disdain, and now he’s trying desperately to move the news cycle on from imprisoned children.

Erin is too young for me. Marionette chick looks more age apppropriate.
Disclaimer: my comments here are as redonkulous as dotard’s comments on space patrol force 1999.

He has access to a lot more child labor to make some uniforms too. He doesn’t have to use those hacks that made Ivanka’s shitty purses.

Well, to be fair, some of an Earth leaders’ family members are silicon(e)-based life forms. And the Fox-watching bipedal hominids would complain that Zeta Reticuli is part of the Godless, One-Galaxy United Federation of Planets.

Pure nonsense. If it ain’t gonna make money “commercial entetrprise” ain’t getting involved. How much commercial money has been invested in “research” taking place on the International Space Station? Virtually squat. Already a $150 billion dollar government funded effort. Metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, etc all that promised great stuff hasn’t happened. At $8 million dollars per man day who’s going to pay for that.

Well, age cannot wither a marionette, nor custom stale its infinite variety. Pretty sure that’s from the same team that did Fireball XL-5 in the early Sixties, so if you like a mature marionette she’s just your type.

FYI William Shatner is 87 effin’ years old. I think all that flying around at warp speed slowed down his aging.
