Where can I see this? Do they seriously want to slip the 'star wars' back in?

edit: Thanks for the Wikipedia link. Those slippery weasels! That's the wrong direction.

Apparently Russia's was reformed in 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Space_Forces

You've got to be kidding me.

edit again: Apparently this includes the US Space Command

>"HR2810 FY18 could re-establish the United States Space Command as a subordinate unified command under the United States Strategic Command not later than January 1, 2019. This bill also includes the creation of the United States Space Corps."

Yes, but:

> This proposal is opposed by the Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force, Air Force Space Command, and military leaders such as Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Paul Selva, Chief of Staff of the Air Force General David L. Goldfein, and the current commander of Air Force Space Command General John W. Raymond

Also, from a joint perspective it makes no sense to bring this to the level of of Joint Chief. This would however be a perfect thing to talk about amongst the Chiefs as it would involve resources and personnel from across the services. I imagine that kind of thing is already happening, however.

Thanks, I missed that. That is somewhat reassuring. My knowledge of this in the present is limited, though.
