Does CNN have any professionals that can write a basic article? I learned more at DINFOS than this girl did in years of college.

Just saw that movie on TV. Guardians of the Galaxy.

Fake news. Morons.

The crew to get the job done: the United States Space Corps.

I suggest that we not try to tackle this one on our own. I think it should be a joint effort with at least one other nation. They could call it the Joint Extraterrestial Defense Initiative. Important decisions could be made by a council. I think that with a JEDI Council we would see a new beginning to our space program.

To Stupidity. And Beyond

[BeauBo]

Oh woe is me! Born too late...

I would be beating on the door to join the US Space Corps.

[mkleesma]

I’m all in favor of this, as long as we build a Death Star.

[JohnBrowdie]

it’s a ruse. trump is going to create this mysterious service as an excuse to shoot democrats into space.

[laxcoach]

Given our state of technology this is ludicrous.

You form a navy when you have ships. You don’t form a navy when you have canoes or the idea of ships.

It’s a black hole for money

[catnipman]

Recruits are called “Space Cadets” ...

[Rashputin]

Because terrestrial weapons systems aren’t expensive enough.

Would they be led by a talking raccoon?

[where's_the_Outrage?]

As an avid scifi reader I believe that the space corps is a natural projection from the Navy, not the AF.

Basically it would be taking a ship (e.g., destroyer, carrier, etc) and putting it in space.

If you have a spaced based carrier why would a water based carrier be needed?

If we were just talking Fighters I could see the AF’s leadership, however foreseeable technology will not have single or 2 manned fighters doing a patrol around Saturn.

[TigersEye]

As long as only Democrats are allowed to join the Space Corps I’m all for it!

[Sasparilla]

Starship Troopers.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

A proposed new military branch would send US troops to guard the galaxy

Starfleet.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

Just another excuse to steal taxes from us.

[yarddog]

Whichever company that got the contract for storm trooper armor should be excluded from all bidding.

[2001convSVT]

Real Starship Troopers.

[jazusamo]

The TV series “Space Patrol” of the ‘50s was the basis for this bunk. :)
