President Trump has recently directed the Department of Defense to begin work on a legislature regarding the "Space Force". This legislature (Space Policy Directive 4) will make the "Space Force" a subsequent branch of the U.S Air Force, with hopes of it becoming a separate military branch. If the "Space Force" is made an independent branch, it will be the first new military branch in over 70 years. While some believe Trump's idea of a "Space Force" will incorporate the radical ideas of Hollywood production, the realistic goals for the "Space Force" will be to create more advanced anti-satellite weapons and missile detection. More details in relation to cost will be released with Trump's 2020 budget proposal. "Space Force" will act as our countries defense against foreign attacks by means of the last frontier.
