The Space Force should first and foremost, be a FORCE. So, anything that travels above the von Karman line should be in their bailiwick: That immediately means ICBMs, SLBMs and any ASAT capability.
–WASHINGTON — A large launch vehicle could end up having a big effect on the small launch vehicle market through low prices and encouraging customers to build larger satellites.
The emergence of SpaceX’s Starship vehicle, which is designed to place 100 metric tons or more into low Earth orbit, has captured the attention of companies developing vehicles that can place one metric ton or less into orbit because of Starship’s potential to further reshape a market already affected by the company’s Falcon 9.” https://spacenews.com/starship-could-have-a-big-impact-on-small-launch-vehicles/
This sort of silly and is similar Space Force question.
So, Starship is going to get us closer to becoming a space faring civilization.
Does space faring civilization, not need small sats or small rockets?
Everyone will have a small satellite.
Plus Starship will or something will make gas stations in low earth orbit and elsewhere.
Do gas stations make motorbikes not viable?
Space Force has and will have problem with stopping information. Maybe they should give up on that idea.
Ask Itchy Boots. Her biggest problem is gas stations. Although why she’s still alive is a mystery to me.
I still want to see the United States Solar Guard, with ranks similar to RAF (modified Navy, iow). With star names for the Starships. Polaris is a good start! Although my favorite remains Regulus.
