President Trump took the first major step in the proposed plan to establish a U.S. Space Force. Is the potential military branch needed for national security or a silly sci-fi fantasy
Last week President Trump officially established the U.S. Space Command, a move he said was a crucial step in establishing “America’s superiority in space.”
The reality of a Space Force, its proponents say, is a much more practical, earth-based operation to protect critical U.S. infrastructure in space from attack or hacking. Modern American society relies heavily on satellites for everything from GPS to banking systems to cellular service and a number of crucial military processes. The risk of these systems being compromised represents a significant national security threat, supporters of a Space Force argue.
The Trump administration has nonmilitary ambitions for space as well. NASA has announced a plan to send humans back to the moon and potentially to Mars.A Space Force is needed to protect against adversaries like Russia and China“Aside from the need for the American government to help set a course for building a successful future in space, there is also the very real danger of potential adversaries gaining an enormous advantage over the U.S. in this final frontier if we do not properly prepare.
The Space Force will also protect U.S. economic interests in space“Our nation is not taking the unprecedented step of setting up an independent space service just to provide better protection of our military satellites and improve space acquisition. That mission is too small to justify a separate service. Rather, the national leadership has an expansive view of America’s economic future in space.
