    IIRC the space force basically just is taking what was air force space command and spinning it off into its own branch. So they’d not be doing much that wasn’t being done before so much as making that operation independent of the air force, same as how the air force used to be part of the army.

      Yep, just added even more managerial over head and made it even harder for joint missions. Space Force still uses Lackland AFB (or whatever joint base it is called now) for its basic training. It probably is mostly just still Air Force basic training

        You don’t know that they aren’t conducting zero-g battles.

        Remember, the enemy’s gate is down.
