The reusable rockets Musk has changed the economic equation for space access.Is it? Where I hear the name Space Force my mind doesn't go to people keeping tabs on satellites. It goes to ships using railguns or something to shoot at other ships hundreds if not thousands of miles away.
It just sounds like Trump wanted something cool sounding and said fuck it I'll essentially make Starfleet but you know....without the fleet. So much so that the logo looks like Star Trek.
Space Force is not meant to be Starfleet, it's meant to be space-Air Traffic Control mixed with space-Coast Guard, and getting it spun up before it is obviously needed is called getting ahead of the curve, instead of playing catch-up later.
