The idea of a Space Corps was proposed by a commission chaired by Rumsfeld with a reorganization within the Air Force to eventually having an independent branch. The House had a bipartisan bill to do that, but Trump and his Pentagon threw cold water on it saying more research had to be done. Soon after he then proposed a straight up new branch called Space Force...

I think it’s fair to say he wanted credit for the branch and that drove his opposition and then sudden support for the longterm plan happening immediately

Interesting.  So kind of like I saying that Trump just wanted to throw the "brand" on it for his own personal glory and reasons.  That certainly fits in with the rest of his term an, well, his life.

Obviously it is a long term thing that will require more thought than stealing designs from Star Trek and a very strange name.

I rather enjoy good conversations around here rather than the usual complaining.  Thanks.
