U.S. needs space force for future protection

The Island Now

The Trump administration wants a Space Force.

Vice President Mike Pence has warned that Russia and China have already militarized the final frontier.

We need to protect the homeland from attacks from outer space. Russia and China are developing technology that could attack our satellites.

A space command is long over due.

Let me also mention we could face attacks from aliens unknown. Remember today’s science fiction could be tomorrow’s reality.

As the Star Trek series states, “To go where no man has gone before.” 

Let me also add something else. Our population is increasing and we now have a population from six to seven billion, and by the year 2050, we could have a population of 18 billion.

Therefore, we need to explore others worlds like Mars for possible colonization.

As such we would need a space force to protect such population.

As stated in the Star Wars Series, “May the force be with us.”
