By now the US flags on the moon are bleached white so it actually looks like the French were there first.
don't joke about this shit
How are they going to shield the guys, and their balls in particular, from cosmic radiation? Even airline pilots and stewardesses get too much cosmic radiation.
Maybe the Space Force will be remote controlled robots.

Looks like Chump's puppet master is giving him the anal sex.

What would a Space Force actually look like?
"In all likelihood, a Space Force would be stitched together from existing U.S. programs. At its center would be the Air Force Space Command, which has led the U.S.'s military space operations since 1982.
If you're picturing a rehash of 'Starship Troopers', brace yourself for disappointment. Day to day, the Space Force would probably monitor Earth's satellites and take the lead on launching and maintaining military satellites, the command's current beat.
Even now, the command employs more than 36,000 people and maintains military tech in space, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite network and the mysterious X-37B space plane. The consulting firm Avascent says that the Air Force spends more than $7 billion per year on unclassified space systems alone. ...however, Space Force's exact structure would depend on the enacting laws, which aren't passing any time soon."

So basically nothing new and no military bases or mega projects in space. So why even bother ?

Russia starts Star Wars first. USA concerned and puzzled
The behavior of the Russian inspector satellite, which was launched in the autumn of 2017, puzzles military officials in the United States. Yleem D.S. Poblete, assistant secretary of state for arms control, verification, and compliance, said that the behavior of the satellite in orbit raised a number of questions.

Space is the future frontier of the expansion of civilization. There's obviously going to be military operations just like navies were used in days of overseas colonization. Why not get a head start on being the leader? I dunno, it's a gut feeling but this is the kind of thing that seems dumb now but 20 years from now we'll be damn glad we did it, or feel really dumb and regret not doing it. It's same with AI research. Space and AI are both the obvious most important things in the future and whoever leads them will be the greatest civilization on Earth.
