I love that NASA is a waste of money and should be defunded but we still want to put people on Mars they’re just going to be a bunch of Lance Corporals and Specialists instead of trained scientists and technicians.

To be fair either group is going to spend 99% of their time hovering toxic dust off their mars suits or loving. It probably wouldn’t make a difference.

Doug Ford, brother of literal crackhead alcoholic hatebag former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, got elected and one of his braying points is "bringing back buck a beer" What does that actually mean? Well the government sets a minimum price beer can be sold for. It was at some point in the past 1.00. It is currently 1.25. So all BUCK A BEER BUCK A BEER boils down to is wanting to change that minimum from 1.25 to 1.00. Ps current number of anyone anywhere selling beers for the legal minimum price of 1.25 or even anywhere close: zero.

I don't know what would come out of pushing the frontier of space exploration, but just imagine the legacy tech and science we would get out of trying. Think of the space weed, if you will. Or what might come out of asteroid mining drones. Even if it ends up as Lcpl Schmuckatelly and Pvt Fuckface, at least the social experiment side of things could pay off. Be real good for establishing a baseline without wasting valuable scientists on the next Challenger disaster.

Our grandchildren will marvel at the amount of trim we got in comparison and how stimulating our overwatches would have been. They did it, they found a worse place to send enlisted than the mid east.

I always found that the statement 'technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic' to have a corollary: technology that is sufficiently understood will be utilized by idiots. See: Starcraft 1 intro video. Except I don't think space flight is anywhere near that level yet. We still kinda have to send insanely smart people up there.

I think it's hilarious that "Space Force" is the name they're running with. Not Space Command, or Space Corps, or Aerospace Security Defense whatever. President Goodbrains said "Space Force," so we're sticking with that.

gently caress it, set up the space force, have basic be your 20 weeks or whatever and if you can't pass the standards to be an astronaut then entry level seperation. End result, no space force.

Why does this have to be a separate service instead of a combatant command? I mean it'd be one thing if we had large amounts of military personnel actually in space, seems a bit premature at the moment.

He's an ideas guy, gently caress all that. His very stable genius brain is working on too high a level to be worried about that stuff.

Specifically it’ll end up with a load of maths nerds like me flying space drones, slowly and really boringly.

It's cool that everyone in the DoD, Congress etc know the space force is a joke and just let it run without shooting it down because the president is broke brained. Even cooler that they'll do this without invoking the 25th amendment.
