A US Space Corps
So I wasn't sure where I should post this so I put it in politics.
I came across this link today about creating a United State Space Command.
But for those of you not aware there already exist two space commands.
The first is the Air Force Space Command
with some interesting and super vague duties btw.
"According to AFSPC, its mission is to "Provide resilient and affordable Space and Cyberspace capabilities for the Joint Force and the Nation."[7] As a result, AFSPC's activities make the space domain reliable to United States warfighters (i.e., combat forces personnel) by assuring their access to space.
AFSPC's primary mission areas are:
Space forces support, involving the launching of satellites and other high-value payloads into space using a variety of expendable launch vehicles and operating those satellites once in space
Space control, ensuring the friendly use of space through the conduct of counterspace operations encompassing surveillance, negation, protection and space intelligence analysis[8]
Force enhancement, providing satellite-based weather, communications, intelligence, missile warning, and navigation; force enhancement is direct support to the warfighter
The second is the United States Space Command
Whose purpose is
"The United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) was a Unified Combatant Command of the United States Department of Defense, created in 1985 to help institutionalize[citation needed] the use of outer space by the United States Armed Forces."
I think that the timing of the new Space Corps is intereting. Is it a set up to a disclosure of a certain scope? Or is it just a new agency to have a classified budget as just more of the same?
I personally think that this is more about shifting money from place to place and just further compartmentalization. Yet just another agency that fights for their piece of the pie(sky/space).
Also, I am not sure how this plays with the treaties about not weaponizing space, which we clearly have broken but on in the deep and covert ways. This would be an open abrogation of the treaty. Will this force Russia or China do make a similar move?
Although, the super deep optimist in me wants this to be the for reals Star Trek with no malevolence attached to it.
EDIT
While working on a project, I was reading this which is the comptrollers budget review for 2016 of the DOD.
in it, it talks about space when talking about the overall strategy for the US globally. It is page 18.
Space. The DoD will move toward less complex, m
ore affordable, more resilient systems
and system architectures and pursue a multi
-layered approach to deter attacks on space
systems.
I love how vague that it. It could be interpreted as both cyber and outer space.

Re: A US Space Corps
They have NO choice. People are taking viral all the ships they catch/amateur observers on telescopes with night vision. Also when NASA tried to eliminate a shot of a ship by our Space Command, a observer said to put it back, it's already gone viral with copies, and sent them the same image they took out. So...in all fairness, they could either call us liars to our face, or put it back. They put it back within the hour. I took the page down to come here, because google owns youtube and it's safer to pull your tab and cursor off any suspected pages being followed by the alphabet agencies spying. I really suggest that before you go to youtube and search it, that you come off this page, before walking in land mines of snoops on youtube. They can't beat us on the truth, but watching everything we do or discuss is not their businesss. WE do unto others as they have done unto us. NO answers, no data on anything.
