Should Dems adopt a pro-Space Force policy?

They really burned us after Vietnam painting us as unpatriotic or at least not as patriotic as them. GOD they just LOVE them some America huh?

Should we go ahead and get ahead on this issue?
There's just no telling what the fine American men and women* who will venture out into space will find.















*I assuming these will be "manned" endeavors not automated war machines controlled by programming aimed at identifying the most immediate threat and destroying it.

It even feeds my lawn evenly, giving a luxurious glow to it while wiping out 99% of all insects. While balancing the state budget.

Once he's out we can turn it into the beginnings of a real-life Starfleet...

Or maybe we'll just end up like "The Expanse" instead...

1. 40% of this country only support the government when it comes to defense. They seriously vote for a party that wants to gut science as they don't believe in funding it. At least with this we as a nation would stay in space no matter what.

2. Once we're in space then defense of space stations, satellites and outpost will be part of our reality.

Earth first, baby! Fuck these aliens coming to take my job. Actually, come to think of it, maybe they would send tRump to another dimension. That would be good.
