its inevitable

2019-07-12 03:25:38 UTC  

I just wish my life path woulda taken a path to controlling more directly. *wipes tears away*

there is no space force. It's simple like AFRICOM or EUCOM etc. simple DOD reorg, like JTAC was with nukes

2019-07-12 03:26:22 UTC  

**contributing

2019-07-12 03:27:13 UTC  

Used to be each branch of the military had charge of their own tactics and deployment of nukes. this resulted in overlap and inefficiency

2019-07-12 03:27:15 UTC  

It's the thought that counts @ManAnimal honestly.

2019-07-12 03:27:28 UTC  

then they consolidated everything nuclear under JTAC

2019-07-12 03:27:51 UTC  

Basically *talking* about Space Force brings it to the public consciousness

2019-07-12 03:28:06 UTC  

whether its up now or not, it will be needed. private companies would get aggressive with each other and start colonizing moons and planets theyre not authorized too.

instead of xenos the first enemies engaged by the space force would definitely be private companies and their private security acting like their own governments

2019-07-12 03:28:11 UTC  

you don't think it is already in the public consciousness?

2019-07-12 03:28:26 UTC  

I think most in the public are just tired of the same old promises

2019-07-12 03:28:44 UTC  

Underscoring it is important.

2019-07-12 03:28:49 UTC  

Moon in 4 yrs... for the last 40 yrs we have heard every President say this

2019-07-12 03:29:04 UTC  

Not that I recall

2019-07-12 03:29:12 UTC  

i dont think so

2019-07-12 03:29:22 UTC  

its private companies that want to go into space

2019-07-12 03:29:37 UTC  

Probably for the better tbh

2019-07-12 03:29:44 UTC  

Still debatable as to whether or not BEING in space can be profitable

2019-07-12 03:29:53 UTC  

Hate to pull it.. Obama? Bush 2? Clinton? Bush 1?

2019-07-12 03:30:00 UTC  

profitable definitely

2019-07-12 03:30:08 UTC  

launching sattellites and visiting? sure. but staying there?

2019-07-12 03:30:13 UTC  

Just a matter of make it so.

imagine a planet owned solely by disney where they control EVERYTHING

2019-07-12 03:30:51 UTC  

But I absolutely don't recall any "moon in four years" from prior admins.

2019-07-12 03:30:55 UTC  

But truthfully, companies like SpaceX have only been integrators not so much innovators

2019-07-12 03:31:08 UTC  

Skylon if it works would be an innovation

2019-07-12 03:31:24 UTC  

Integration is a step to innovation.

2019-07-12 03:31:28 UTC  

It just works.

2019-07-12 03:31:43 UTC  

but what SpaceX is doing is taking 30 yrs of aerospace work in the industry and integrating it

2019-07-12 03:31:57 UTC  

Yeah, which is absolutely needed.

2019-07-12 03:32:04 UTC  

this is true

2019-07-12 03:32:19 UTC  

That's how efficiency is gained - revision.

2019-07-12 03:32:37 UTC  

The real question is pace of iteration.

2019-07-12 03:32:44 UTC  

But it highlights the uncertainty of whether or not we can make it profitable outside of novelty visits

2019-07-12 03:33:22 UTC  

Efficient enough and I'd think so.

2019-07-12 03:33:34 UTC  

well, the iteration was done with MANY aerospace companies going bankrupt and each moving the ball forward inch by inch

2019-07-12 03:34:08 UTC  

Also, for on lookers, profitability isn't just capital in the form of direct RoI.

2019-07-12 03:34:38 UTC  

this is true especially for the Normies who will tip the balance
