Seems redundant and just bloats an already useless military budget. Like air force...would already deal with the space above

Much like the Army already dealt with air before 1947. Yet we have an Air Force today.

You in 1947: "air force? How redundant. Just keep it the US Army Air Corps"

Question: do you have a smartphone? If so, have you ever used a feature that uses location, like maps, local weather, or photo locations? Guess what organization is in charge of that location data getting to your phone?

It’s not NASA. It’s the one you just called useless. The space force specifically. That’s just one example of the things the military does that benefits you. We can certainly debate exactly how much the military and NASA should be getting, but it’s just wrong to say the military budget I completely useless.

Other way around. Having all military branches in a single organization would be a nightmare and inefficient to properly manage. Splitting groups off when they get big enough aids in organization and makes sense both from a management and financial level
