Before they were their own branch of the military we still had an Air Force but it was just a division of the army. Theres no way it would be what it is today if it hadnt been made into its own military branch.
Exactly. And over time they've become arguably the most vital part of our military. And over time, the "space force" or whatever the fuck they end up calling it may become the most vital arm of the military.

A department of the Air Force might be a good start but over time space will become the newest frontier. Exploration, colonization, resources - all the things that historically are what we fight over.

They'll need to become they're own department at some point, and I'm all for getting things started sooner, before any potential rivals can get a leg up on the US.

What I dont understand is why you think making a Space Force puts us ahead in any way when we literally already have a Space Force thats called something different. We already as far ahead as were going to get. Making a Space Force does change that. Well be in the same position. Just with less people in both forces...
Creating a space force literally puts us ahead of rival nations who haven't created a dedicated space force.

Not sure why you think it would diminish the strength of the Air Force. Much like the Marines, they would likely start out as a small, specialized department of the Air Force, and grow over time to fit our needs.
