> The Air Force had complete control over the domain of space, splitting space out didn't answer any real organizational problems. Organizations have costrained focus and priority, like you and I do. I have all sorts of responsibilities, but certain ones are my top priorities and others I get to when I can. Lower priorities also can distract organizations. From what I understand space was not a priority of the US Air Force, which has long had a reputation for prioritizing fighters over everything else. It's perhaps analogous to the priority of Bing at Microsoft compared to search (or ads!) at Google. I'm not saying the Space Force organizational design is good or bad, but that there are reasons to spin off functions from large organizations.
