Can you guys give me any news on Space force, I was at my gram-grams for 4 months...

I mean, It was going to happen eventually. It just happened earlier then we all thought it would.

Well it's not like space niggers can blend into the human populace. The ROE is easy as hell

Seeth more britcuck I think achmed needs some refreshments and half your paycheck after fucking your wife

Real talk I think the higher up Delta boys deserve an All-on-high position they can dream to achieve.

After being testing for 4 years through rigourus training, being forced to go through a 0.1% selection process, wouldnt you feel deserved of a space walk in Spartan armor?

United States Orbital Guard?

What the hell will they do, protect the moon cheese? There is fuck all in space and whatever there is is just mining opportunities. Military action in space is like a pat down search in kindergarten

There is $$$ in the amount of helium-3 on the moon. In a more present (realistic) scenario, the protection of the actual ISS itself from foreign sabotage considering recent events.

helium-3 is fucking worthless trash and there isn't any on the moon worth speaking of

Jim Bridenstine (NASA Administrator) came and spoke at my college the other. The Space Force inevitably came up. Basically their job will be to protect our satellites, and primarily our GPS satellites. Not a whole lot of people realize this, but there are a lot of things that depend on the time synchronization from our GPS satellites. One of them is our online banking. Of those satellites were to be taken out by a hostile foreign entity, our entire economy could collapse in minutes. Same goes for our power grid, since they too depend on the time synchronization from the satellites. And let's not forget telecommunications services for both our civilians and the military. Bridenstine pointed out that, because of our dependence on it, space is America's Achilles heel.

I like it

We have the resources to clean up the space debris in our near orbit field, to allow a larger space station to be built and utilized for moon mining operations.

Why are we not cranking this out by now... Im so tired of the Sheep populous thinking we are ahead of our time right now. We are in the "future" lets stop pussy dicking around and cuck those Covanent bastards, and their great journey.

what it's used for, fusion, is better achieved with deuterium or tritium

lmao I said "knowledge" twice, that morning mimosa is kicking in...

youtube.com/watch?v=LFVaH0E9X3s

Almost none of those things are true for Delta, quit talking about shit you don't know about.

Deuterium, tritium, ANNNDDDD he-3

That's the fact, jack.

Yeah, but can you correct my disinfo regarding Delta selection? Last I checked Delta doesnt exist....

"Why is Helium-3 better than Deuterium for fusion energy production?"

>While D-He3 fusion reaction rate peaks at smaller energies than D-D (see this picture), and produce more energy (18MeV for D-He3 vs. 3-4MeV for D-D reaction), this is not the main reason why some people think He3 is a 'better' fuel. The main reason is that D-He3 fusion fuel cycle is aneutronic. That is, all fusion products (if we disregard auxiliary branches) are charged particles and there are no neutrons released in this reaction.

physics.stackexchange.com/questions/66205/why-is-helium-3-better-than-deuterium-for-fusion-energy-production

SFOD-D, ie The Unit/Delta/CAG/ACE/whatever color designation they're using right now definitely exists, and the only people that say it doesn't are civilians and bootfuck cherry privates trying to seen cool and get laid in Fayettenam.

>no neutrons
>can't use your reaction to breed more deuterium/tritium fuel
seems like a major drawback to me

Oh shit, I just read the wiki

>"The notice states that applicants must be male, in the grade of E-4 through E-8, have at least two and a half years of service remaining in their enlistment, be 21 years or older, and score high enough on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery to attend a briefing to be considered for admission. Candidates must be airborne qualified or volunteer for airborne training."

Yup. Hey, man, the more you know.

That's pretty good. Depending on how they're used, they could be a good match for the "SOG" moniker.

Id assume, with a plethora of fuel, and the Lack of neutrons would be beneficial in the lack of heat shielding.

High speed low drag af

>with a plethora of fuel
we don't, breeding your own tritium from deuterium stocks is absolutely going to be the future
>then needing less rad shielding would be good
yes you're absolutely right, He3 is going to be much better for high speed low drag mobile reactors and will require less maintenance even for stationary plants but will remain a specialist thing due to the fucking cost of the shit
even trying to mine it from the moon is a losing battle because you'd need to crush how many millions of tons of rock for an appreciable amount of He3

He3 is really common in gas giants, so mining saturn/neptune for it would be viable

now there's an idea

LEts send some fucking roombas to Saturn

damn You're right... Moon soil contains 0.007% He3.... I always grew up thinking the darkside of the moon had a few dick-tons of it.

this

What the USSF will actually do:
Take away strategic missiles from the USAF because they cannot be trusted with them.
Take spy satellite/space weather/GPS/etc away from the AF.
Incorporate a bunch of newly declassified tech.
Work hand in glove with companies like SpaceX to drastically lower lifting costs.

desu they should have never formed NASA or the AF, and instead should have thrown everything into the militarization of space after WWII imo.

we didn't really believe in it until Sputnik went up and mocked the leaders and after that it was all panic and secrecy

oh damn look its a spaceX employee

>For some reason Space Force just seemed like a bad 80's dotard term.
this has to be some sort of zoomer mentality because space force sounds based to me

maybe happening
>space force (depends on congress approving it next summer)

anticipate changes happening within the next few months

There is literally no reason to not have called it the Space Marines. Fully embrace the Godemperor Trump meme. It also makes sense in naval doctrinal sense.

>There is $$$ in the amount of helium-3 on the moon
Helium-3 is useless if you can't build a fusion reactor hot and heavy enough to fuse it, which we can't, considering we can't build a deuterium fusion reactor which is literally a thousand times easier.

but how do you stop a foreign entity from tossing 6 gorillion ball bearings at significant velocity into the space...space(?) ceiling of the global satellite network

Once enough speiss shit gets up and running will armored satellites built by compartmentalized construction become a thing?
>send up satellites weight in ablative and composite armor
>or manufacture it in fucking speiss
>armored satellites with cold welding resistant guns become ubiquitous
>speiss pmcs man them to operate what basically amounts the an aegis system
>BUT IN SPACE

>doesn't know SpaceX wasn't given a single cent by the air force for second phase development
Sad.

>but how do you stop a foreign entity from tossing 6 gorillion ball bearings
The important shit is in LEO, and the enemy's important shit is there too. In order to hit GPS, you have to be willing to accept the probable loss of GLONASS, Galilio, Beidou 1 & 2, NAVIC, and QZSS, which means hard fucking literally everybody on the planet. That and shooting down satellites is not all that easy for people who don't have a lot to lose by doing it.

>Space Force
Already exists, it's called the US satellite command
Just join the air force, you can join now and sit at a desk monitoring satellites or looking at photographs on outposts in North Korea

And, not to forget other important shit you could easily fuck up: ISS, any spy satellites, sat phones, Tiangong-2, and a good portion of the science shit put up there for the betterment of mankind.

>be iran, north korea, or just some assholes like syria, or a police state like china whose military is almost entirely based on local police state enforcement
>devastate the entire satellite belt
>almost immediately launch your own military communications satellites en masse to regain information superiority
it's some Cobra tier shit but the capability of assraping and area denying the entire current belt of satellites with debris and chaff is not an ignorable strategy for a militarily inferior force.
>be america
>WWIII were declared
>some shithole immediately fucks over the entire GPS/GIS system setting back warfare to the 1970's
>FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>be iran, north korea, or just some assholes like syria
All countries which lack the capability to enact the scenario you're proposing. The US Navy feels pretty good about itself when it shoots down one satellite, and for good reason. Those countries do not have the capability to shoot down over sixty. Covering LEO with any chaff thick enough to block communications would take a couple trillion kilos of material, which is simple not feasible for anyone on earth.

targeting one satellite versus targeting all of them are two different things. There is an operating ceiling range for most satellites and flooding that range with a statistically damaging and unstoppable amount of random unguided shrapnel would fuck over all parties, but mostly the one with the most reliance and number of satellites (IE the USA)

should have been the USSC, US space command/corp

Fuck, I like the sound of that. USO, United States Offworld.

>but how do you stop a foreign entity from tossing 6 gorillion ball bearings at significant velocity into the space...space(?) ceiling of the global satellite network
you dont...that's the MAD version of space warfare and probably what will happen when one side realizes that it's about to lose. one last fuck you before they die.

all the more reason to into space and get orbital industry up
gain the means to become space junk janitor before some chucklefuck ruins it for everyone

Weird idea people. But why does an exoskeleton need to reinforce the arms? Most of the wait will be put onto the back and legs so if we only focus there it should lower weight and power consumption.

You get no force increase if you had nothing on the limbs

It doesn't, for most military purposes. Legs and spine solve 80% of the problem for 20% of the effort. But for naval yard workers or scifi memeguns, then you might need reinforced arms.

Exoplanetary/Orbital Forces
XOF

If you're wearing more stuff than a normal human can normally carry, and then you fall over, it will be much harder to get up if your arms aren't also augmented. Going prone is also kind of tricky without them.

Can we make up other countries space forces names

>unstoppable amount of random unguided shrapnel
Literally about 500 billion kilos of shrapnel, if you want a seriously prohibitive amount in one set of orbits.

>chinks build space shotgun using mathematics to intercept path a screen of ball bearings into the path of multiple satellites over the span of weeks whipping around the planet

For reference, the total spaceflight capacity of our species for all of history is about 13 million kilos.

Because the Commander in Chief has no fucking clue what he's actually in command of.

I figured it would be something like this and vastly expanded satellite Intel uses.

that's more so cause we have been assdragging on space
We have the technology and blueprints to bump that up several orders of magnitude in record time, the powers that be simply see no reason to do so, and wont until a private company mines an asteroid and shows the world the true riches of space

>We have the technology and blueprints to bump that up several orders of magnitude in record time
Not really, no. The largest payload rocket in human history (larger than anything int he works as well) can only lift 140,000ish kilos, meaning it would need to be flown 3.5 million times to reach a respectable denial mass of 500 billion kilos.

who said rockets? there's more things to use than a rocket to reach space, and there's more, and better than the space elevator to do it
and I wasn't talking about denial measures, just the ability to bump up launch capacity
