Thanks a lot for the explanation / clarification, helps me qualitatively appreciate events. > it is in no way some sort of novel realization that space is important for the military. I know, and didn't mean to imply that it was; I said "used to" because my fear is long gone, and such statements now pile up, like +1's I guess. (Upvotes are currently winning by a fair margin!) I would however suggest that having a centralized Space command is a great leap towards building presence, solving big problems. Speaking as an EU citizen; but I'd vote for that, and with my wallet too.
