Quote HistoryQuoted:
USMC was kicking around it's own Space Marine program ten years ago, something called "Hot Eagle" (not making that up). It was imagined to be a sub-orbital landing craft like Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne/SpaceShipTwo, continental US to anywhere in 2 hours, but just as importantly not legally violating anybody's airspace on the way there, and very difficult to defend against.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's what I was thinking. That he's finally been briefed on our top secret interactions and other BS with aliens and shit. He's the only one that would be like "well fuck let's handle this shit now then" vs. the other politicians who wouldn't want their voters to find out that we are an alien science experiment or not "special" in the universe. Where does this leave NASA? |

Space JAG Corps! I'll cross examine the fuck out of those martians! Immediately prior to, what you claim was all an "accident" did you not state:"Oh! I'm going to blow it up. It obstructs my view of Venus." to a room full of witnesses at the Acme Trading Company Returns Department who will corroborate the authenticity of said statement? Furthermore, after said "accident" did you or did you not, state to the effect, and I quote: "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!" followed subsequently by, and again I quote: "This makes me very angry, very angry indeed." The prosecution rests, Your Honor. Call Bellisario up right now man! Because I'd watch the hell out of Aimless: Space JAG. I mean, it'd have to be better than NCIS right?

Seems making Cybercom a separate branch first would have allowed more immediate threat reactions. Is this really just an excuse to take ICBMs away from the AF since they've been plagued with serious issues in that command? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: there is some logic to this, even though he may be getting way ahead of reality. At some point, we are going to see things like docking with hostile spacecraft become a real thing, whether by robot or humans. There will be a space arms race, even if nobody is "supposed to be" allowed to put nukes in orbit. Anti-sattelite and anti-space craft technology will become real. Somebody will be the first to put rods from god in orbit. Someone will train to either take it over or take it out. As it gets cheaper to put stuff in space, people will put stuff in space, including no-so friendly types. |

Space x’s BFR (big Fuc, er Falcon Rocket) is going to bring down the cost of space by another large sum, AGAIN. Pthe second stage can be used as a suborbital transport to anywhere in the world in less than an hour. Its potential for military use has not been discussed much.

Of course, I'll probably be well into my 40s before this branch actually comes into existence. |
