SPACE FORCE!

(Bloomberg) – NASA’s administrator is a strong defender of President Donald Trump’s proposals for space – including an armed force and a permanent presence on the moon – and says he wants Americans to realize how much their well-being depends on what happens far above Earth.

 

“Every banking transaction requires a GPS signal for timing,” Jim Bridenstine said in an interview. “You lose the GPS signal and guess what you lose? You lose banking.”

 

“If you look at what space is, it’s not that much different than the ocean,” added Bridenstine, who made 333 aircraft-carrier landings as a Navy pilot. “It’s an international domain that has commerce that needs to be protected.”

 

Bridenstine was in his third term representing a congressional district in Oklahoma when Trump nominated him to lead the $21 billion space agency. He was confirmed in the spring despite criticism over his lack of scientific or engineering experience and his previous statements questioning climate change science – though he said in hearings that human activity was the chief cause of global warming.

 

Last summer, when he was still in Congress, Bridenstine supported a measure that would have created a “space corps.” It passed the House but was removed from the final defense spending bill. Then last month, Trump called for the Pentagon to develop a sixth branch of the American armed services that would protect national and commercial interests in space.

 

Trump’s surprise announcement caught Pentagon officials and members of Congress off guard. The Defense Department already has several major programs in the works and the Air Force has contended that a new branch was not necessary for space defense. Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat who once took part in a space shuttle mission, tweeted: "generals tell me they don’t want" it and "now is NOT the time to rip the Air Force apart."

 

How to establish U.S. security in space has been debated for at least two decades. An independent commission – led by Donald Rumsfeld before he became defense secretary – reported in 2001 that "in the longer term it may be met by a military department for space."

 

Some 60 different agencies within the defense establishment play roles in space-related work, said Todd Harrison, director of the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. That may slow the realization of Trump’s goal. “This isn’t going to happen quickly.” Harrison said.
