(Worthy News) – President Donald Trump signed a directive Tuesday ordering the Department of Defense to create the Space Force — a sixth branch of the military — initially as part of the Air Force.

It would be managed by an Air Force undersecretary for space and have representation on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
