So the ground and air forces are utterly dependent upon the orbiting satellites so the orbiting satellites must be protected by a system of space-planes and missiles which might be swamped by attackers so the complexities of defence must be handed over to independent computer-control which itself is dependent upon artificial intelligence devised by other computers which- like everything else in this militaristic complex is utterly dependent upon the oil industry.

Rat pong, anybody ?

I believe that was 1957 ... when "Space" first proved its military utility was a reality.

Those things should be mostly paid for by the individual States.

The military is clearly a Federal mandate.

There should be independence for California. And Texas.

Lulz. Nothing in the constitution mentions any space force.

Why do you hate the constitution, ya old drunk?

The point I was trying to make was that America got caught with it's pants down when 'old Commie, backwards Russia' beat the US in space.

If Russia and/or China create a 'Space Force' that can dominate the Planet, will you be laughing then?

What about the mine shaft gap and the doomsday machine!
