A great astronaut once said "To Infinity and beyond". Or maybe that was just a tweet from a space cadet.
We can only hope Trump's Space Force is slightly more successful than Trump's Airline which almost flew passengers from Laguardia to Newark once.
Some of you might say NASA is already in place for this kind of thing. But NASA stands for Nobody Attempts Space Anymore and Herr Cheetoh is going to Make America Galactic Again.
He's already got Elon Musk on board and if that isn't a name straight out of Star Wars I don't know what is.
While I and my elitist enemy of America friends in the press make fun of the whole concept of a space force, there might be a couple of things to consider besides the likelyhood Trump's Russian Mafia buddies control the world's dilithium chrystal reserves and are itching to sell.
So consider this before you make another meme of Jeff Sessions wearing that oversized imperial storm trooper helmet, no matter how funny it is.
First, maybe this is the Donald's attempt to make up for his draft deferments during the Vietnam War. A guy who won a rich kid camp tennis trophy is destined for greater things than flying a Huey. No, he should be manning the conn and hooking up with sirens from other planets like all the other star fleet commanders.
If JFK had his foresight, the Donald could have been an intergalactic megalomaniacal fraud instead of the earthbound one he grew up to be.
Besides, in zero gravity no one knows you've got bone spurs.
The other possibility no one is talking about is the obvious one. The Weekly World News was right--we really have been visited by space aliens. How else can you explain the Kardashians?
The Donald is having none of that. An illegal alien is an illegal alien, just a bunch of murderers and rapists who want to come here and get free stuff.
Since he can't actually come out and say there are aliens among us, he's doing the next best thing: creating a Space ICE who'll round up those little greenies and drop them off on the other side of the Space Wall the Space Force will build.
And yes, those Martians will pay for it.
While opinion polls show few in the general population support a Space Force over a rebuilt infrastructure or better schools, at least 98.3% of citizens who have been anal probed say we need a Space Force more than air.
Not an air force, but air. Period.
I'm betting none of you thought of those things before ridiculing Space Cadet Bone Spurs' vision, did you? You just need to set aside your snowflake worries of global warming or crumbling infrastructure or economic inequality or Russian election interference and get with the (space) program.
Besides, that dilithium chrystal reserve his buddies are sitting on will be worthless when Jeff Bezos finally perfects his Mr. Fusion and nobody (named Trump or Putin) wants to see that day.
