The US Air Force Has Won Control of the Space Force
By Marcus Weisgerber Global Business Editor Read bio
February 12, 2019
Six months ago, service leaders said they were being cut out of the planning process. Now they’re being put in charge of it.
Detailed planning for the proposed Space Force is expected to be handed over soon to the U.S. Air Force, a sign that Pentagon leaders — many of whom opposed the notion of consolidating military space operations in a new organization — have found a version that they can support.
In coming weeks, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan is expected to sign a memo asking Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson to stand up a team that will figure out the bureaucratic nuts and bolts of the new space organization, according to a draft of the memo being circulated by top administration and military officials.

Well, Duh! China can't build shit with out stealing the design from someone else...........or being sold to them by the Clintons or given to them by Obama.
Here's some quality Chines engineering which proves that even when they do steal the design they still can't quite engineer it.

Those wacky, inscrutable Chinese, I somehow just can't work up a fear of the home grown techno wizardry.
