    Sen. Tubs crying about Biden "playing politics" while he has held up military promotions because he wants to act like an ass.

    It's like when MTG was calling for decorum the other day while presiding over a session. These people either have zero shame or zero self awareness.

    Even in a realm where hypocrisy, irony, and shamelessness are the norm, some people and dare I say some parties stand out in a very much wtf sorta way. :D

    I think you're confusing Space Command with Space Force.

    Considering a Canadian team hasn't won the cup in like 30 years, I think this analogy is good.

    You know the military is bloated when you have two things with almost the same name that do basically the same shit. "In Space Force we handle the space stuff, except for the space stuff Space Command handles."

    Full disclosure. I also thought this thread was about Space Force.

    But at least space is vast. So 2 agencies seems legit

    Probably need Space Force III and a Starfleet Command. Perhaps a United Citizen Federation (service guarantees citizenship).

    Would it be cheaper for us to pledge allegiance to The Empire and just pay for protection from extraterrestrial threats? I cede to your clear nerdy wisdom on these matters.

    It's to make up for Colorado's asinine car license plate costs.

    I think this is a good idea with Colorado being at a higher elevation than Alabama. Less fuel needed due to less travel distance to get that rocket into space.

    FWIW, the International Space Symposium is held in Colorado Springs every year. There’s a reason for that.
