Congress Puts Kablooie on Space Force

[DaisyDay]

Congress Fails to Fund Trump's 'Space Force' in Defense Budget Bill
Donald announced that we're going to Mars and getting a 6th branch of the military - the Space Cadets, no, "It's called the Space Force", seriously. While he is the party visionary, the House controls the purse:

Instead, the report directs Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to come up with a plan for how the Defense Department would organize for warfighting in space.

The House version of the conference report was also leery of Trump's vision for the creation of a new military branch for space, instead calling for the establishment of "a subunified command for Space under United States Strategic Command for carrying out joint Space warfighting."

If there are intelligent lifeforms who are aware of our existence, they propably don't want anything to do with us. We're either beneath their notice or far too strange and/or dangerous.

What if they need to build a bypass?

Bypass what? Space?

Going to assume you haven't read/seen Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. If you had, that's a good reference.

Oh, that one.

I've seen the movie, but it didn't leave any lasting impression.

I hate when that happens!

The book is far superior.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

I'd defect to join the aliens.

Personally, I'm in camp "shoot us all with death rays".

Yeah... I mean, we kinda had it coming what with all the hunger, wars and division.

You and me both. Do you think we get to choose what kind of alien we want to be? I'm asking this because I'd love to be a Vulcan, I mean, if we get to choose. The Vulcan Mind-Meld looks really cool. I'd have to learn how to do that Vulcan hand sign though. I still haven't figured that one out yet.
