It's come to my attention that The SpaceForce are going to need their own F-35 variant that can fly in space

They need Marine support. The Space Marines will require a different F-35 variant than the one above that can VTOL to space.

Big fire(s) causes homeless surge. Won't someone think of the wine country property values?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/18/us/santa-rosa-homeless-camp/index.html quote:A popular biking spot, the trail is now the site of the largest homeless encampment in Sonoma County history. It's also a textbook outcome of the 16% surge last year in homelessness in California -- largely fueled by skyrocketing housing costs -- and the myriad problems that go along with it.

The DNC would rather have 4 more years of Trump than 4 years of Bernie. Bernie would actually try to get things done, which would make every single one of them who have spent their entire careers sitting on their hands protecting the status quo look really bad. With Trump they can just point at him and say everything is his fault.

Launch operations at Vandenberg began in 2013 with the launch of the first Falcon 9 1.1 booster and first commercial mission for SpaceX. The first landing was in 2018, because while Vandenberg doesn't have a runway... where we're going, you don't need runways. Fig. 1: A full-service spaceport.

Godholio posted:I don't know which bases will fall under Space, but Vandenberg, Peterson, and Patrick are probably safe bets. The high points of Space Force are operating the GPS constellation (50th), coordinating launches (30th & 45th), parts of NORAD/early warning (21st & 460th), tracking/cataloging orbiting objects, and probably ASAT & whatever spooky stuff the X-37 is doing. Wikipedia has some details about locations: quote:Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) was redesignated as the Space Force by the 2020 NDAA, elevated to become the new service. All of AFSPC's former personnel, organizations, and components were then assigned to the Space Force. AFSPC's principal components were 14th Air Force, which controls operations, and the Space and Missile Systems Center, which is responsible for research and acquisitions.

Vandenberg is used a lot for polar launches, since they can launch south over the ocean. Not to mention ballistic missile test shots into the Pacific.

A massive 200 Billion Dollar Border Wall, built around Texas to protect it from immigrants, is a costly, foolish & environmentally unfriendly idea that, when needed, probably won’t work anyway. It will also look terrible. Sorry, you’ll just have to get your foreign & economic policy ready!

With enough fuel/power, anywhere can be a launch site. If you ignore recovery, anywhere can be a landing site!
