One of the only good things I said that Trump did in his first term was invest in space. Gave NASA more budget, created Space Force, as ridiculous as it is at this stage in our history... looks like he just took away the one good thing I credited him for.

The Space Force is perfectly logical. Combine all our miltary's space activity, intelligence, satellites, all of it, into one dedicated branch. No clue how that's working out IRL.

Isn't military space activity illegal under international law?
