      There are already plans for that. You can even argue that’s been happening already with a number of astronauts being military associated. It is obvious this would occur at some point in time.

      This is kind of a given.

      Military doctrine includes battle space dominance.

      It’s disclosure in a way, but it’s already known. Stating it just makes it obvious to those that aren’t paying attention.

      The ramp up /increased production of space vehicles.

      Training plans for both military and civil space personnel.

      Global plans for lunar colonization.

      Satellites : attacks on satellites.

      The list goes on …

      To the people that are upset about this, do you believe that if the US didn’t do it, no one else would?

      But can they get them back down, or will they have to rely on Boeing’s schedule? She’s always so late, breaking down every other day..

      He saying what everyone knows.

      They talked about this in West Wing in the late ‘90s. It really shouldn’t be a surprise.

      Am I totally wrong to think that humans can’t survive in space indefinitely? The record is 437 days. If your most badass soldiers can only spend a little more than a year in space, the ROI on that seems incredibly low if not negative. Am I being naive? I feel like there should be a better answer beyond “we gotta fight aliens and space communists.”

      AI says:
      Prolonged periods in space can alter an astronaut’s body in surprising ways, including: 

      * Changing their muscles, brains, and even their gut bacteria 
      * Causing height to increase by an inch within one month 
      * Causing calluses on the bottoms of feet to fall off after two months 
      * Causing the tops of feet to become raw and painfully sensitive 
      * Making it impossible to shed tears while crying 
      * Causing odors to quickly permeate the environment 
      * Causing back and abdominal pain

      That, to me, doesn’t sound like a combat-ready troop. But I feel like I have an enormous blind spot that I am missing somehow.

      space warfare unironically will fuel the growth of many space exploration related technology like with every other industry.

      That’s such a confusing headline. Troops, as in special forces or infantry, armed to the teeth with assault weapons? I can’t imagine a real-world scenario where that makes sense. Troops, as in Space Force astronauts working in a Space Force habitat on intelligence gathering or R&D? Absolutely; it’s not even worth mentioning.

    11. Lanfear_Eshonai on

      Did anyone doubt that space capable countries will put troops in space?

    12. TheFightingImp on

      Just make sure the troops can speak Russian/Mandarin. I remember shit going down on the Moon because of idiot interpreting.

    13. alienandro on

      Finally. I’ve been looking forward to the roll out of moon tanks.

    14. Duddly_Dumas on

      Yay, we will get several more seasons of Space Force out of trump

    15. DashboardNight on

      Obviously. It would be extremely naive to think there will be no warfare in space, given the amount of war there is currently on our planet.

    16. ColbyAndrew on

      They all keep saying things, but these things don’t have anything behind them, like reasons, or logistics… how the hell do you plan on doing that? Why the hell do you plan on doing that? What the hell are they gonna do in space?

    17. tnstaafsb on

      He’s basically saying that when we advance to the point where we have any significant human presence in space, then it’s inevitable there will be soldiers tagging along to protect those humans. I’m sure he’s 100% right about that. Who knows when that will actually happen, but unless we destroy ourselves before we can pull it off then it will eventually happen.

      I hate the eventual militarism of space. But the next major war is going to see it now matter what we want. WWII was largely about the battle in the skies. WWIII, as long as we don’t just nuke the planet is going to see major battles for space. I would not be surprised if we ended up in 50-100 years with military outposts on battlestar style ships with The heavy rockets sending fuel and supplies to them. Same as we would to aircraft carriers. Then we have space stations designed to repair and resupply weapons. Before we know it, StarTrek or StarWars becomes more a reality. AI Robots will be common place at that time to work on the ships in no atmosphere environments. We are at the beginning of that future.

      China and Russia are doing just that right as we speak. So it’s just catching up 🤷‍♂️

    20. AlludedNuance on

      Considering Trump literally founded the Space Force, yeah, no shit.
