President Trump raised eyebrows earlier this year when he announced plans to create a “Space Force,” which would become the sixth branch of the military.

Vice President Mike Pence later announced in a speech that the branch was needed in order for the US to maintain military dominance in space. The proposed Space Force is estimated to cost $13 billion in its first five years.

And despite some snickers among political observers, renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn’t think the Space Force is that crazy of an idea. But Tyson, one of the authors of “Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military,” has a note of caution.

27 July 2016: Alternet: Neil DeGrasse Tyson cozies up to the US Military Machine
by Adam Johnson
It was announced Wednesday [3] that Neil deGrasse Tyson, beloved ambassador of science and head of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, will be joining the Pentagon’s “Innovation Board” along with Amazon CEO and multibillionaire Jeff Bezos. The two join a 15-person board that includes Aspen Institute chief executive Walter Isaacson, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and other “private sector leaders...

Neil is worried that the NASA propaganda will be exposed.

DARPA’s Project Blackjack aims to put up a couple thousand pieces of military hardware in low orbit to complement the GEO items. The just released Air Force funds to pump up capability through Northrup Grumman, Blue Origin, and United Launch Alliance to compete at the same level as SpaceX, suggests an anticipated expansion of military launch services.

Reknowned ASTROPHYSICIST, my ass! Tyson is an entertainer, sort of, who mimics Carl Sagan and that is all

Yep - whoever establishes the first tangible presence can deter the rest - not to mention all the other opportunities down the road.
