WE SPACE MARINES NOW
>>130983724
>literally the only plausible justification is to prepare for alien threats
Ayyy sign me the fuck up
Called the Air Force. They handle the vast majority of space military shit already
>>130983724
Sure why not? We already have spacecom and all kinds of space-based weapons and everything. Wouldn't be surprised if we've been having manned space missions to mars and bases on the moon or whatever, either.
So it would make sense as a transition to revealing more of the truth even if that's all it is.
>all those cucky works of fiction that thought we'd be conquering the galaxy under the UN
Told you, space is US soil.
>>130984142
Was going to say... USAF will not be happy about this
>>130983724
Isnt this illegal though
>>130983724
First murder in space when.
>>130984233
But USAF could just be near space. Space Corps could be like fucking star fleet.
i can't wait til they make starcom real

Part of the disclosure plan we're seeing right now. It's not coincidence there's been an uptick of ayy related news lately.
>>130983724
A sneaky way to dump defense money that would be wasted dropping $100,000 bombs onto pickup trucks into useful space exploration instead. Sounds like a good idea to me.
>Implying we already do not have a secret space military branch
>>130983724
god damn it just when I get to the point of being to old for the military they unveil the Buzz Lightyear corps
fuck this gay earth
>>130983724
Sounds like they just want to move military satellite operations and such to a new branch.

nuke attack of unknown origin -- when?
SOON
>>130983724
so now we can perform armed takeovers of manned space stations? cool.

>>130984338
nukes in space are illegal. Any other weapon is not. Anything can be a weapon with enough speed.
China will probably join the space race and we will see glorious new technological leaps ahead.

>>130985585
God damn sun keeps violating the treaty on nukes in space >:O
>>130984338
How would it be illegal if our lawmaking body passes a law to make it legal? There's nothing in the Constitution about space battleships.

You will never reach the window, you will never be free.
YES LET'S FUCKING GO
>>130984005
Or just a plan for weapons and surveillance from space...
>>130985585
Come on Ivan we each know that both our governments have put nukes in space
>>130985921
yeah, only your army will rely on Musk and Bezos for their millitary rockets. Don't you see a problem there?

pls no hack
>>130983724
cus our NASA funding alrdy proves to be useful, right?
SHOW US THE FUCKING ALIENS I'M NOT FUCKING AROUND
>>130986235
better than relying on Russian rockets like we do now
Reports suggest initial funding will go towards the development of a "Zero gravity obstacle course" to train recruits and will not just be used for fun at all
>>130986485
how exactly is that better? you think they care more about USA than about money that can come from anywhere?
>>130983724
This has unofficially been going on for years. Is this really news to you fuckers?
>>130986678
>how exactly is that better?
domestically sourced & built, we won't have to rely on your shit country anymore
if you're mad make your own space corps
>>130986360
Provides a major boost to the space industry ensuring there isn't a generational brain drain, but let me guess, the money would be better spent on free shit for niggers and retarded poor people.
>>130984005
>>130986006
The actual article states that the reason is to prevent attacks on our satellites.
>>130985712
>:o
Kys
>>130987747
o_O
>>130987196
or attack satellites...
fyi, you could disable any satellite in orbit, with a can of spray paint. The target would never be able to prove you did it. They wouldn't even know what happened. You just need the delivery system.
>>130986420
>>130983724
Just expand the AF TBQH lads they already have space related AFSC anyway
Space shouldnt be millitarised
>>130988128
Or you could be like Best Korea and just start blowing your satellites up so the debris gets other ones #rekt

>>130988316
If not us, who?
If not now, when?
-JFK
>>130988128
Yes, we could in theory also use it to attack enemy satellites, but to be honest, the most likely candidates for attack will probably begin making their own versions of the space corps if this goes through.
>>130988316
Satellites are too important now. If we lost our satellites it would cripple the country. I'm not too worried, to be honest. The strategists will figure out how to keep us in a state of MAD.
>>130988263
The idea is to attach it to the air force in the same way the marines are attached to the navy.

>>130983724
Forever War.
>>130984233
Doubtful. The whole idea is that the Space Corps would be like the USMC. Rather be under the department of the Navy, it'd be under the USAF. A separate branch but under another department.
>>130983724
>United States Space Corps
Isn't that what women are called in the military?
>>130990186
I doubt they'd operate in any way like the USMC. I'd imagine it would be (at least on the surface) similar to the USAF, but with spacecraft.
>>130985753
>space battleships.
ORION SHALL RISE
>>130990404
Still would put it under the Department of the Air Force regardless of how they operate. At least according to all legislative efforts right now.
It's inevitable
Purge the Xenos. Humanity will rule the stars.

>Not Codex Americana
We searching for space niggers now
>>130984428
Never because the affirmative action that would put niggers in space would also put them in control of launch procedures, so they'll never leave the atmosphere.

>China will probably join the space race and we will see glorious new technological leaps ahead.
You mean, China will continue to pollute the orbit with anti-satellite weapon tests, until there's so much shrapnel in orbit that it'll be impossible to launch anything without it being turned to swiss cheese.

Someone is going to militarize space, might as well be us.
dumbass bugers can't even build a plane, and now they play starwars again.
you're so fucked
>>130988443
That was China that shot down it's own satellite. Made a huge cloud of orbiting shrapnel.
