Space Force

@Ghyda Said

General Kwast believes "that in the coming years, the number of Americans in space will grow exponentially." He says that the Space Force, as it operates now "fails to envision ... cities in space to be monitored and defended."

However, he does not expect the Space Force to deal with Little Green Men or other extra terrestrials.

Considering space force has only just been created, I guess it certainly does presently fail to envision cities in space... Something that we are clearly on the verge of having… Huge gigantic cities, probably the best cities ever, circling our planet, looking down upon the devastation that we humans have inflicted upon God’s creation... I think there’s a sci-fi TV show on this topic on AMC… But I can’t be certain.

Wernher von Braun

General Kwast does not mention fictional accounts of space travel, but a television show in the 1950's predicted many of the details. I'm not sure of the title. It was called Disney's Future Land or something similar. In the show, Wernher von Braun explained how a multistage rocket might lift a spacecraft into space, orbit Earth, go to the moon, and land like an aircraft on Earth. The spacecraft in the show looks a lot like the space shuttle.

Cities in space may seem unlikely in 2020, but space travel must have seemed unlikely 1920. Just flying an airplane around the world must have seemed impossible, but in 1924 airplanes did fly around the world.

...we have to protect Thomas Edison...

Elon Musk does good rockets!

Just ask Trump:

KERNEN: Tesla's now worth more than GM and Ford. Do you have comments on Elon Musk?
TRUMP: Well -- you have to give him credit. I spoke to him very recently, and he's also doing the rockets. He likes rockets. And -- he does good at rockets too, by the way. I never saw where the engines come down with no wings, no anything, and they're landing. I said I've never seen that before. And I was worried about him, because he's one of our great geniuses, and we have to protect our genius. You know, we have to protect Thomas Edison and we have to protect all of these people that -- came up with originally the light bulb and -- the wheel and all of these things. And he's one of our very smart people and we want to-- we want to cherish those people.

Yes... there have been quite a few death threats targeting Thomas Edison since his death in 1931.

Meh ... I like geniuses that don't make mistakes.

Tommy boy made 99 light bulbs that Didn't work! I mean, how hard can it be?

If President Trump were a baseball player we would call it Yogism.

I wonder if the Star Trek franchise got a copyright on their logo?

@DiscordTiger Said

I just saw that. The rodenbery estate/ family should file a s*** ton of law suits.

I don’t remember if Star Trek is under Disney (I doubt it but so much got bought up last year). The mouse and his lawyers are f***ing brutal when it comes to copyright/trademark issues. The send c&d letters all the time. They don’t f*** around.
