3. Ending Space Force is extreme, Trump-like, impulsive.

I have no confidence in trump's management of such a force, but in the long run I think the U.S. should have a space force.

You're advocating all traces of Trump be eliminated, just as Trump wants to eliminate all traces of Obama.

so my support for eliminating Space Force has nothing to do with eliminating all traces of Trump - it has to do with undoing bad policy.

12. There is a need for a discussion of how human should go to space.

Should it be individual nations? Individual corporations?

Unfortunately, a high-intensity primary is not the best time for that discussion. I regret raising the subject.

I agree, Ms. Toad, that militarizing space is not a good idea, but it may be inevitable. It may have already happened, Space Force or not.

Let's just get rid of Trump and then find out where we stand on these important ideas. I will be happy to argue then.

11. Yes, because a white supremacist jealous of a black man's legacy

is analogous to the next Democratic president working to undue the harm and mismanagement of said white supremacist.

"Space Force" is a boondoggle and misdirection.

He doesn't G.A.S. about the so-called Space Force. He only wants attention. Positive, negative - doesn't matter.

ATTENTION!
