What a vile mentality.

Reminds me of the settlers in the new world.

A vast world presented itself but the savage mindset only advanced to new extremes of barbarism.

I want to write the theme song

Space force!

Killing some Muslims
From outer space!

Starship Troopers must have been featured for movie night at the Whitehouse.

Was he at SPAWAR when he gave that speech? A firm grasp of the obvious.

The Military Channel aired a documentary on the Special Forces a couple days back, apparently produced in 2003. One of the retired SF officers mentioned - on camera - of the SF planning for the future and stationing SF troopers to deploy from space.

It's not a new idea and Trump didn't just pull that one out of thin air.

Is it a good idea?

Results
Unsteady walking and postural instabilities were observed after short- and long-duration missions. Motion sickness symptoms were observed after long-duration missions but not after short-duration missions. The symptom most frequently reported by the astronauts was an exaggerated perceived motion associated with sudden head movements during reentry and after landing.

Conclusion
The severity of the observed abnormalities would limit the ability of crewmembers during the first 5 hours after landing and increase the time required to leave the spacecraft during this period.

Symptoms of vestibular disorders have been observed in astronauts immediately after return from short-duration missions onboard the Space Shuttle flights. These symptoms were recorded during medical debriefs between the astronauts and crew flight surgeons on the day of return (generally 2-4 hours after landing) and 3 days later. The severity of symptoms had considerably diminished 3 days after landing

Thinking back, the background imagery they used in the documentary while this guy was talking abuot the future of the SF was of a space shuttle launch.

As I say, whether its a good or bad idea, it probably didn't just pop into Trump's head while watching Starship Troopers last week.

If you haven't, you should watch The Expanse. Great show. Those Belters do have some bone density issues.

Trump would attempt to build a wall between Ceres and Ganymede. :drowning:
