I think another Trump decision which may be viewed as important by historians in 50+ years time is the establishment of the US Space Force.

I wanted them to open an academy. Even though I am likely too old for it, I'd definitely apply to be a space cadet.

Why does reorganization of Air Force Space Command into a separate organization seem like a big deal to you?

Well, for one thing a separate organisation is likely to get more funding. It’s the nature of politics and bureaucracy. And increased military investment in space could produce flow-on benefits to the civilian side of the space industry

If the dreams of people like Elon Musk come true, USSF may end up being a far more important organisation than AFSC ever was.
