An article on Fox News about an order Tuesday by President Trump directing the Department of Defense to draft legislation creating a so-called Space Force within the U.S. Air Force in a bid to launch the first new branch of the military in more than 70 years interviews John Crassidis, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
Crassidis said a Space Force won’t be something that will be patrolling the final frontier anytime during Trump’s current presidential term. “This is something that is going to take a long time to get running, three to five years if things run smoothly and this actually gets through Congress,” he said.
