>>10993201>scientifically speaking, what will be the benefits of SPACE FORCE?the air force does a ton of research already. the space force will likely have their own research capabilities. most of it will probably be for defense related purposes, so examples might be deep space GPS which might bring new knowledge of pulsars, and computer vision for detecting and tracking hard to see objects.
>will space force accelerate us to colonize the moon? or will it simply own the anti-science libs?yes, weirdly enough because cislunar space and the moon are considered the next geographic frontier in space militarization because china has it's sights set on the moon. if china wasnt pursuing it however, then the space force probably wouldnt have much interest in the moon for the foreseeable future. that said, alot of people in the space security community feel like that is hogwash and that china and america arent competitors racing for the moon, but instead that lobbyists and shills are using china as a scapegoat to expand militarization towards the moon. either way there is an interest in cislunar space and the moon for national security purposes.
