Bipartisan bill introduced by Mike Rogers of Alabama
I'm almost kind of jealous, apart from the fact that this is clearly violating some no weaponizing/militarizing space treaty, but other than that, this is great. I welcome a 'space race', since i plan on getting off this rock anyway before it goes haha
Space marines starship troopers/starcraft here we come.
Who wants to sign up? haha
Michael Turner, Republican senator of Ohio, said he first heard about the proposal last week, when it appeared before the subcommittee on strategic force.
“I chastised my staff and said, ‘How could I not know that this was happening?’ They said, ‘Well, they had a meeting about it and you missed it,’” Turner said. “A meeting is certainly not enough. Maybe we do need a space corps, but I think this bears more than just discussions in a subcommittee.
“We have not had Secretary Mattis come before us and tell us what this means. We have not heard from the secretary of the Air Force. There’s a whole lot of work we need to do before we go as far as creating a new service branch.”
How funny that in this day and age we hear about this shit on sites like independent(clickbait rag) before even Mattis has made any comment on it.
Even republican senators n shit got no idea this was happening till last week.. haha incredible.
