You don't lose cool kid points, you instead lose any expectation people might have regarding your ability to perform basic risk analysis.
Things shouldn't be pursued based on whether they seem big and sciencey. They should be pursued if the benefits exceed the costs and risks. A space force does not meet that criteria.
- zawazzi 8y agoThe purpose of calling it a space force is to align the military industrial complex with NASA's mission. This isn't about creating a legitimate space force. Who would they fight? Its about the rebranding civilian science for military funding.

- Rebelgecko 8y agoNo, it's about rebranding existing military funding (mostly Air Force) to another type of military funding, the Space Force.
