The need for a new military branch and space-based capabilities couldn't be more dire.

Space Force Is a Go for Launch

While the impeachment circus dominates headlines and another government shutdown is right around the corner, a bipartisan defense bill is cruising towards being passed.
A handful of major changes made it into the bill after months of negotiations, including 12 weeks of paid parental leave for federal workers and a 3.1% pay increase for the troops — the largest in a decade.
Of particular note in the $738 billion bill is the official creation of the Space Force.
For the first time since the Air Force was separated from the Army in the aftermath of World War II, a new branch of the military will be created.
The need for it couldn’t be more dire.
[Check out this rocket engine!](
It's a propulsion system straight out of Star Wars. A jaw-dropping example of movie magic becoming reality.
And the company making it has got NASA sold on it.

The new bill would allocate $72.4 million to establish the service and its headquarters while authorizing the Air Force to transfer personnel into it.
The head of the Space Force will report to the Air Force secretary and would be a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
This is just a start, with an expected date of 2023 for this initial phase to be complete and the Space Force to be fully operational.
Unfortunately, the USA is effectively the last major player out of the gate.
It didn’t have to be this way, but after a good start we have consistently lagged behind in military capabilities in space.
The U.S. Air Force got started on the necessary technology in the 1950s with tests of air-launched ballistic missiles. A later modification to one of them was used in a mock attack that got within four miles of Explorer 6 — an early scientific satellite.
That’s close enough for a nuclear warhead to knock something in orbit out of commission.
Further tests were done, and lasers and masers were considered, but the tech just wasn’t up to the task and the programs were shelved one by one.
[Coming Soon: A Million Square Feet of Cannabis](
I’ve found an up-and-coming cannabis grower that’s about to TRIPLE the size of its greenhouses to a million square feet... and it's doing all of this in a single year!
This incredible level of growth is the kind that can make you rich. I know because I’ve done it before: five years ago I made 3,220% on early cannabis winner Canopy Growth... and it’s taken me this long to find a company with the chops to make it happen again.
Let me show you why [this cannabis company]( is the NEXT Canopy Growth... and how to [get shares before it skyrockets](.
It wasn’t until the 1980s that militarization of space came back to the U.S. military’s priority list when news of a successful program in Soviet Russia broke in the West.
Another missile was pulled off the shelf, so to speak, and modified. A test was done once and was a success.
Once again, a lull in development. Once again, the U.S. fell behind.
That lasted until China shocked the world in 2007 with a direct hit on one of its weather satellites. Since then, it has tested two other potential anti-satellite weapons.
It has also developed what it claims is a space junk removal mini-satellite. However, it is a perfect dual-use tool — it can just as easily approach and modify or destroy other satellites with its robotic arm.
Then there is Russia, which is rapidly developing and deploying hypersonic ballistic missiles and has tested new anti-satellite weapons.
Even India has gotten in on the game with a successful test this year.
Did you know Amazon is legally obligated to pay billions of dollars to people every year?
The company has grown so big that it's forced to pay a "tax" just to continue operating.
And this year, a group of in-the-know investors will split $1.5 BILLION in payments.
The investors are taking advantage of a little-known strategy that'll get them a share of Amazon's mandated payouts.
And now, you can get in on this amazing opportunity, too. [Click here to learn how.](
This is just the start. Cheaper launch costs and smaller and lighter satellite technology promises to see a rapid deployment of military assets in orbit within the very near future.
China and Russia are ahead of the curve and the USA needs to step up its game to retain any semblance of military advantage in an age dominated by space-based data connections and reconnaissance.
The creation of the U.S. Space Force is a big step in that direction. Thankfully, we also have a far more robust and advanced private sector to create what is needed for this new front.
In fact, companies are already developing exactly what the Space Force will need.
The Wealth Warrior’s Jason Simpkins has been covering this trend for his readers for some time. [Check out what he has to say.](
