trump's space force is his way of slowly revealing all those black-bag projects we never see. the space race never died and we've been trying to interact with aliens for decades now.
I had the same Theory, one difference, the technology reveal is very important, but the branch of command being labeled space force, will allow it to be used militarily and publicly, it will be under the president's control at that point I would think. Either way good comment, keep thinking!
The US Air Force, under POTUS, will run the new (overt) US Space Force, at least for now. I imagine this decision was mainly due to the need for a deep pilot pipeline for all the new hardware we've repo'd. At some point this will most certainly 'flip' due to scale alone - and absolutely to remain under POTUS' direct aegis, alongside (maybe even subsuming) the marines. Bring on Starship Troopers!
