Space force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
"Space fleet" redirects here. For the Games Workshop board game, see Space Fleet.
Not to be confused with Space Force. For other uses, see Space Force (disambiguation).
A space force is a military branch that conducts space warfare. Currently, one country has previously had an independent space force. The Russian Space Forces was an independent organization that existed from 1992 to 1997 and from 2001 to 2011; it was reestablished in 2015 as a branch of the Russian Aerospace Forces, similar to how Air Force Space Command is a component of the U.S. Air Force. A space force is almost always a part of the air force, which may function as an air and space force or as an aerospace force, as the United States Air Force does.

In an announcement on June 18, 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed the establishment of the United States Space Force as the sixth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. In a speech made August 9th 2018, United States Vice President Mike Pence announced a plan to create the proposed service by 2020.

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time

I agree. This is what Chairman Bob has described as "elasticity", or as Lenin declared, the task of a truly LF off-site is not to declare that it is impossible to renounce all compromises, but to be able, through all compromises, when they are unavoidable, to remain true to its principles, to its class, to its revolutionary purpose, to its task of paving the way for revolution and educating the mass of the people for victory in the revolution.

*reverse shot, i'm nodding* Now Y-rods, that's something you don't see a lot anymore. i see everyone out there with a pair of copper nowadays, pure copper or 99%, *reverse shot, ialdabaoth is drinking from a glass* and i ask them if they're looking for gold, pure gold? and *reverse shot, shaking my head now* you'll be missing some amazing platinum at Santa Monica without Mary the Jewess in your pocket, that's all I'll say.

Well i agree it's not a good return if you're talking rods, gold rods would get you copper, pure gold will get you pure copper, that'll help you if you're after, well, i shouldn't say *scattered laughs from audience* now folks, come on, let's not get the feds after me, *more laughter* no, you can find plenty of artifacts up in Manitoba that way, Great Lakes region. And copper's two fifty a pound, that isn't worth it, folks. But for rods your 99% copper Ls pull at 99% gold but everyone's out there now with them, I mean, ninety nine gold is a uh, a nice thing but think what they're not finding out there. It's madness. They think it's electric--electricity, but it's [indistinct] *applause*
