US Space Corps?

[Deleted member 457759]

Is this true?

The House Armed Services Committee has voted to split the US Air Force leading to the creation of the US Space Corps. The move makes the US the only nation currently with a branch of the military dedicated to space, but not everybody is happy with this.

I say go ahead with it if true, full blown star wars program, colonize the moon and mine it for H3, and don't let China or anyone else up there.

Well, that part is wrong. Everybody knows the Nazis have a moon base already.

Nice, hope we build a death star.

And the rebels will pay for it.

Didn't the British hacker already report the existence of space military? I'm guessing he'd know the difference between real space personnel info vs. someone's RPG make pretend stuff.

In The Expanse, and Star Wars, the military in outer space is called the Navy. Even in Halo it is called that. In Stargate Universe it is air force. In Star Trek it is Star Fleet.

Wont a space corp make an air force obsolete. If I can fly into space, I can just attack from there, no need to be in atmosphere.

Or maybe they can create two separate ones like this. One for deep space operations. That will be like a Navy with big capital ships and carriers. Deep space meaning far away from large terrestrial bodies with significant gravity. And then another force, an orbital force strictly for in and around a large planet's atmosphere. I image the technology will be different. Deep space does not have to deal with a fluid atmosphere, and orbital force does. An orbital force will only fly smaller aircraft, no larger than current ones, into and out of the atmosphere.

And then again we probably wont need a blue water navy either if we can have ships in space. Unless there is some underwater city like Atlantis that we need to get too.

We had a crazy lady in our city years ago who was involved in 2 pursuits with us and a neighboring agency.

During ours, she went over 100 mph, rolled her mustang into a tree and pissed herself. She hit the tree hard enough to embed the door handle into the tree.

She jumped out of the car and was covered in piss but completely uninjured Our K9 Officer starts giving her the K9 announcement in a total mono tone lack of fucks given voice: "This is the police department K9 team. Surrender now and the dog will not be used. If the dog is used he will find you and he will bite you. Surrender now and the dog will not be used."

He got about halfway through it before one of our LAPD lateral just yelled at her "Lady get on the fucking ground or the dog will bite you!!"

She then got taken into custody while screaming: "I told the Space Police!!! The Space Police know! Ask the Space Police!!!"

The Air Force has had a Major Command for years dedicated to space, Air Force Space Command.
