Every single issue in recent memory has polarized the US congress, but this one didn’t. Clearly they don’t even understand the question, but this same congress funded a mysterious new military branch called the US Space Force a few years ago. All of the officers in the space force have top level clearances, so we don’t know what they are doing, and have no way of finding out.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Space Force, heh.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
