[i]An idea that the Pentagon has long opposed — creating a separate military service dedicated to space warfare — suddenly is back in the headlines after President Trump endorsed it in a speech on Tuesday. Addressing a military audience at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, in San Diego, Trump boasted about his national security strategy, plans to modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenal, develop hypersonic weapons, and his proposed increases to military budgets. Trump also made extensive comments about space and the possibility that the United States will need a "space force" to fight enemies that threaten U.S. access to space. "In space, the United States is going to do Colonel Glenn proud," said Trump, invoking Astronaut John Glenn who was a Marine Corps pilot. "We are finally going to lead again. ... We're going to lead the way in space."[/i]
