Is there added value in a separate Space Force and does that added value trump the readiness of leaving the functionality where it is. The argument that we need to do spacey stuff, thus we need a Space Force is bogus. It's, instead, a matter of where to best put the spacey stuff. This is not unlike the calls to abolish ICE, but in reverse. It should be about the functionality. Air Force is a substantial bureaucracy on its own. No point in hog tying a new, smaller organization with that. At least, that would be my first reaction. There may well be other reasons. I do believe it places the space component appropriately in the public eye for the importance of the task at hand.
