President Trump announced on Monday during a press conference that he is aiming at creating a Space Force as soon as possible, and he already ordered the Pentagon to “make it so”. Obviously, service guarantees citizenship, to quote from a famous sci-fi movie from the 90s. The US Space Force would make for an independent service branch and I bet dollars for donuts that today, June the 19th, 2018 will become famous in the future as the day when the US Intergalactic Space Force was created, and all that jazz.

Denise Crosby reflects on that lesson everytime her new job requires her to ask people, “Do you want fries with that?”.

Speaking of “Moonraker”...There was a battle between US troops and bad guys in space...
Agent 007 got on the Drax’s base and unplugged some system...
Then US and USSR found out that there is some base out in space...US sends troops to space using space shuttles...
When I heard of new space force, I remembered “Moonraker”.
Guardians of the Galaxy popped into my mind ...
Great idea actually.
Funny how the Left are attacking him for being so forward thinking......
Remember to call any Lefty making fun of the Presidents’ suggestion “anti-Science and anti-Progress”.....
