Trump orders creation of space-focused U.S. military branch

I’m petty sure it requires an act of congress to form a new branch of the military though. Also, don’t we have some kind of treaty prohibiting space weapons?

Just make sure they really are your enemies and not just fictitious enemies like Russia.

I’m pretty sure that it’s only for Nukes. X-Wing fighters are good to go.

“Shortly after President Trump’s speech about a space focused U.S. military branch, armed U.S. astronauts began boarding the International Space Station, claiming that it is now the property of the United States, ordering all non-U.S. inhabitants to evacuate immediately.”

Even if space weapons are forbidden, who would be capable of enforcing such rule against US? Politicians are always for any kind of war stuff. It is not them and their kids going to the battlefield anyway.

But on the side effect it may evolve a lot on space travel. See what world wars did to aircrafts: from wooden framed, fabric winged gliders with inefficient, low power engine, to the Spitfire and Messerschmitt 262 in just a few decades. Also mention all the nuclear tech, and the V-2 rocket, and the first sort-of good encryption devices and computers to break encryption. A lot of todays tech started from that time.

To guess, in the future, mining materials from asteroids, huge space ships, and some nuclear power on space ships (possibly, fusion reactors) will be invented. Also some new type of rocket engines. (Current rockets emit hot gas at just few km/s, not much momentum to gain from a given amount of fuel. Ion engines are still very experimental and not useful enough without a lot of energy like a reactor on board.)

Oh boy, here we go spending more money on military nonsense.
