US militarizing space

Potential for big investment opps but also trillions more tax-payer dollars being funneled into private military contracts.

Should US prioritize defense budget? 

I was in Chicago and my rush-hour el-train broke down; we were stopped at a station platform and told the seek other transport options.  This didn’t merit a news report, which might reflect a cash-strapped Chicago accustomed to eing unable to afford to operate like a world-class city, in a state that’s already in dire financial straits. 

Trillions aren’t enough; time to increase military spending.

But while the idea of going further into national debt is depressing, the idea that the US Space soldiers will have to identify as human beings, and not only as Americans, is intriguing.  Maybe Ronald Reagan will finally get to see what he so often pondered–an alien intervention that forces all of us on planet earth to identify as a single collective species instead of any one of our splintered particular groupings.
