This bill is a complete waste of taxpayer money. It's ridiculous to think that we need a Space National Guard when there are so many other pressing issues that need to be addressed here on Earth. Instead of investing in healthcare, education, or infrastructure, our government is choosing to focus on a space force that serves no real purpose. It's a shame that our elected officials are more concerned with playing space wars than actually helping the American people. This bill is a joke and a disgrace to our country. #wasteoftime #prioritiesareallwrong The big picture here is that our government is completely out of touch with the needs of its citizens.
