Re: starship-design: The Military Space Service: Why It's Time Has Come
Lee your back?
Wondered where you went for so long.
;)
Agree with the idea that there should be independant space command.
Especially after the air Force moved the old AF Space Command under SAC. SAC has a
reputation of defunding things that don't support their concepts for strategic
bombing missions (They were the ones that sandbagged the SR-71 program.).
With the airforce seing its future as a space force that does some air things
-- folks in the AF who fly planes will be looking to slow down space command
getting funds and missions.
As to the missions. Currently is a safe transit zone for missles, which is
really dumb. We ned to defend areaas of the earth from ICBM's, adn space
assets from anti-sat weapons. And we will need to defend space assets and personel
from more direct attack.
Some space command is enevitable.
