Inside U.S. Space Force As It Guards Against Potential Attacks
It’s funny cause we always talk about how the Space Force is “obsolete”, even though it’s probably one of the most highly active branches today next to the Coast Guard.
Due to the advancements of technology but if U.S has been wrong about anything is that U.S won’t be the top of anything anymore. Take it with a grain of salt.
There’s 6 branches… you’re telling me the Space Force with barely 7000 personnel total is more active than the other 5 that have been around for centuries longer? Stop the 🧢.
Coast guard is very busy like you said, pretty underrated imo but the Space Force is still trying to figure out who’s who in the zoo. They are probably undermanned and overworked like the rest of the branches but that’s likely due to them still establishing SOPs and protocols while trying to do the job at the same time with their very large force of ~6,500.
does this mean there will be nuclear war ?
@@foh9416 a good 51/49 ratio I believe so.
@@VOIDsick1 i don’t know what that means please explain it in a lower iq manner
Literally had no idea what these guys did so thank you!
Right, they do nothing... Thanks for nothing, Space Farce
@@necrophiliacin_lace628 The space force has existed for decades. Pay respects!
@@Deadassbruhfrfr Yay! For the do nothing laziest arm of the military. I'm so proud of the nothing they do
@@necrophiliacin_lace628 they protected us against the aliens!
@@necrophiliacin_lace628 They aren’t the ground force
We've had a Space Force for a very long time. It is a part of the USAF, it's called SAC, Strategic Air Command. Not knocking or comparing. I know it's something that has needed funding and development for some time. It's also not just about fighting in outer space. It is also about protecting ourselves from weapons deployed from space. God speed US Space Force!
@Sean Harrison Then you don't know more if you are too scared to post it what's the point of saying it.
That's like me saying I have proof of aliens but don't want to post it. You know nothing and all you have is words with zero evidence 🤡
nothing like lowballing the USAF budget, right in the SAC
Yea, I tried telling people when a certain party of people made fun of Trump for it. Obama looked at this too, as it's another war-fighting domain.
@@chrishammer5925 what??????
Actually WRONG. It's was called Space Command and I was in it in the early 80's. It was morphed into what is now called Space Force. Trump did nothing except sign authorization to remove the funding for it separate from the Air Force. SAC is Strategic Air Command a division of the Air Force.
As a former USAF Security Policeman, I often hear other service member's talk negatively or derogatorily about the Space Force.
They have no idea as to what they're talking about.
The AF started out with SAC and NORAD.
It had the AF Space Command.
All that has really happened is this has evolved into it's own entity.
The future wars will be fought primarily from the air and from space.
Those ground troop's (soldier's) will need our Air/space based weapons system's and surveillance.
We are the eye in the sky.
We have military resources in orbit you have no idea of.
So please stop the rhetoric and do your job....
Let us do ours!!
I agree, but I also believe we need a Cyber Defense branch.
First of all, you are easy to hack through Kali Linux if an experienced hacker decides to do so. Second of all, tell us why did you come to Greece and did the Mythodea in 2001 calling ZEUS to come? You needed permission for something? Or why do you keep sending satellites with Greek names? You say you are the eye in the sky, I say YOU ARE NOTHING.
Steve Carell and John Malkovich are doing great work.
Ridiculed by the media and Hollywood because Trump formed it. But we all know now with what's happening in Ukraine that the US is on hair-trigger alert for a potential war with Russia or China anytime, and the first minutes of that war would be fought not in the sea or land, but in outer space. Whoever loses space supremacy loses the war. It's that important. No one's laughing now.
@Dumb Humans name checks out
THE U.S.A. WOULD BE DOOMED IF NOT FOR ELON MUSK!!!!!
@@joebloe1401 eh that’s false
@@joebloe1401 lol bootlicker
1:16 Do the Russian nested satellites also contain further nested satellites?
They’re *_so_* nested brah!
😆
Like the nesting dolls. Each one smaller. We tear down the nests all together and rid ourselves of these space pests.
Yesterday or before yesterday out of 76 rockets that they fired on Ukraine eight hit their target three were intercepted and the rest landed somewhere no one knows lol
Shaped as Russian dolls
Yes to a new space race.
Lol
@@lucentnative4363 Huh? Why is this funny? You think job creation, furthering science, and saving our species is funny? I still don't get it.
@@lyraserpentine894 Yeah spending trillions to only produce CGI and foam mattresses is really helping us humans here on earth. Do you even understand what a "space race" implicates? All of the issues on Earth could be solved if the people in power actually cared. This idea that we have to escape earth like it's a disposable diaper is loony!
Sieg Zeon! Death to Earthnoids and oldtypes, spacenoids should take control of the current earths ways!
@@lyraserpentine894 it's best to not even respond low iq people like them would never understand the world and they usually end up working in factories their whole life until their back gives out. Sad
The amount of energy human beings spend fighting each other instead of the using it toward the betterment of the entire human race is staggering and possibly the biggest tragedy since life began on this planet.
A lot of technology that better the human race is from a result of war. If there was no war, V-2 rocket won't be used to attack enemies, and thus, rocket development won't...lift off. No rocket development, no Cold War Space Race, then we might not even have GPS networks or other probes that can explore other planets.
@@KarlenBell Honestly that is just ignorant thinking to think if no war we would be worse off. You ever think if we had no wars we could focus more on whatever we find a need to develop..we don't need a war in order to focus on what the world needs. That it just dumb.
@@A.C.71 OK, Mr. Not Ignorant or Dumb, give me an example of a developed country that has good intentions (that uses technology not from a result of war) and that have never been in a war. lol
@@KarlenBell There are many inventions developed from all parts of the world that came about without war being the catalyst for their creation and the fact the inventions created during war were even able to be created at all proves we could have created them without war but the real question is what things could we have created if war was never a factor? If we were to focus on things unrelated to war and destruction there may very easily been inventions and tech that were far greater for all for humanity than what came about during war, the fact we were able to eventually use the inventions created for war and destruction for good proves this. If we were able to focus our energy on non violent things more, because war was moot... humanity will be the better for it, someone who thinks otherwise and is pro war, pro killing innocent people and accepts that as an absolutely necessary catalyst for tech development is actually ignorant, mean spirited and part of the problem..not the solution.
@@A.C.71 "the fact we were able to eventually use the inventions created for war and destruction for good proves this" no it does not, it actually proves that our lives were improved through war. Still, you have not given an example of a developed country that does good for the world that was not created as a result of war. And you, using words like "could have" just proves how imaginary your ideology is, and not realistic. The non-ignorant fact of the matter is that, if there was no war, there would be no technological breakthroughs. We will all be living like pigs, just eat, sleep, and do whatever pigs do; ie anything but making progress, let alone betterment of any sort. To say someone "is actually ignorant, mean spirited and part of the problem" just because they know that war has helped human development is, ironically, the most dumb and ignorant statement ever.
You mean to tell me space expands millions of miles in either direction and we are up there fighting. Choose a corner and sit in it.
If they tell you “potential attack” you can be sure they are planning to attack.
Work for mexico. Chuck Todd says if your name is biden , you are above the law. I wonder gangstalking Susan. She has slavic name ?
Oh yea, but with a death laser
I love the space force ❤️

Remember when everyone laughed when Trump said he wanted to create a Space Force?
I'm realizing that Trump did actually do some good things. He was first to point out the fake smile on China's face.
Laughing at him forever
yup, still laughing at Space Farce.
And we still laugh at tRump and Cult45.
I mean, this is just a rebranding of what the air force did before a whole new branch was made. So....
"If others choose to start a war there we'll be ready" 😗 (his face)
Lmao glad im not the only one who noticed
2:47
I’m dead
Could you look directly into this camera and say Star Wars?
👀
😆😆😆
Thank you Space Force! I am glad to see a Worthy military branch of USA government...may space Force protect And serve the people of the USA thru it's good responsible leadership...
You think militarizing space is a good thing?
@@mrbobbilly2 no, not ever, but if it is being done then I'm glad the USA has got a good space Force.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Space force is a jokr. The world is laughing 😂😅😂🤣
@@dstone1381 exactly, you don’t want China and Russia in control of space. My gosh that would be terrible for everyone.

Thanks for blurring the sensitive screens and visuals when you covered their interior operations.
They wouldn't have gotten out the door with anything classified.
They sold the uncensored ones to china 😂

The space force is becoming practical and a nesesity
A Space Force sounds cool, but if Russia and China are serious with their aggressive behavior, then yes, it's time we took this seriously too.
The USA is way behind when trump saw the footage then was when they created space forces were not safe yet politicians talk touch an reckless to others

Thanks for informing about space force
I guess the universe isn’t big enough for us to share nicely
Share? Of course but under MY command.
Eat the rich!
Space force just sounds so weird to me. Like an 80’s Lego set I would have died to have. Maybe just go with something like S.T.A.R. Space tactics and response.
It sounds ridiculous. It's been called space command for decades. They really should change it, it sounds like a joke
This is our best move to counter threats, yet we have to overcome many hardules to be in a position to rule the space with dominance.
It's kinda sad what humanity has become.
worse than sad in fact, sooner or even sooner we will destroy all of us.
Many of the great sci Fi shows of humanity shows us growing up in this violent stage too. To achieve peace there will be conflict...
This isnt somthing humanity have become, its just our human nature and it will always be.
Sad? Have you ever read a history book
How? This is cool and just imagine what the space force is gonna do
Aeschylus - 'In war, truth is the first casualty.'
2022 - 'Communication satellites.'
Such a cool branch 😎
There have been sightings of hundreds, if not thousands, of space craft around the moon, flying in formations at high rates of speed. That base is already there and in operation.
Classified but goes on the say “in matters of weeks” 😂
I worked over at a place called the Blue cube. Moffett Field California near there and we could down any satellite. Right from there this was back in the late 80s and early 90s so I know what the big deal is now?
I was expecting him to say "minutes" instead of "hours"...
What so you so if your house is under attack by satellite?
Please buy those launch button covers for John Malkovich.
Commander looks like he lives his life to be a pow and "bass taped" until he gives all his secrets😂😂😂
I love the space force
Why are they wearing camo in an office environment? The netflix version has more sense of style ;-)
I think its just cus they need a uniform in general. That was prolly the cheapest uniform they had.
I think once the new force matures, they gonna have more "normal" clothing for their technicians.
@@honkhonk8009 cheapest!?! Yea- that’s how the military operates, lets find the cheapest solution! Hahahahaha but seriously, no. OCP’s are NOT cheap and the military spends and wastes more money than you could imagine
Lol all dude had to do was put his pinky on his lip when he did the duck lips when he said "we don't want a war but if others do, we will be ready😗" and my life would be complete😂😂
I'm willing to pay more tax, to get these men cool af suits
It's good work
Space Force, the finest in the World.
We're getting closer to Gundam Wing and Star Ship Troopers.
If a war, adversaries are probably prepared to immediately disable satelites, so I hope the allies are able right now.
We’re never getting off this rock.
I fully support what they're doing and appreciate how science and technology can progress in a competitive environment. The CCP and Russia are definitely hostile adversaries and geopolitical competitors on earth, but the US Space Force needs to work on the "boogieman story" for this Cold War 2.0 between the US/UK/EU/JPN and CCP and Russia.
I don't doubt that there might be an intel report out there claiming that China and Russia are looking to have a space war and shoot down our satellites between the earth-moon orbit, but they know that's BS. Who came up with, Elon Musk? That sounds like something I'd invent to get a billion-dollar defense contract.
Wouldn't the space debris damage their satellites, too, or would the Chinese satellites shoot ours down and then hide on the dark side of the moon? We need to work on this story because that sounds too crazy for even North Korea.
We must vote for this party we need new idea new brain new gut PM
@@brandstyle3639 I think I know the problem: How many drinks have you had today?
RiteMo LawBks why this question? Didn’t you had enough of this current PM ? Who keep send money overseas and neglect the need of Australia ? Who had more drink 🍷 now?
If they had an issue with debris, they wouldn't have Anti-satellite missiles. Let alone talk of these other in-space weapons.
@@brandstyle3639 So you assume that every English-speaking commenter online is an Australian? Domestic politics are for you and the other Aussies.
As an American, we support anyone buying nuclear subs to counter the CCP. It's less of a burden for US Navy and Royal Navy.
Your kiwi neighbors essentially have a portrait of Mao Zedong outside of NZ Parliament, so it's kind of hard to be critical of your PM.
Is General Naird still in command..
The Space Force has woodland camouflage for a uniform? That makes sense.
It's a carry over from US Air Force which Space Force is under.
are they in space or on earth genius?
@@chltmdwp No, the space force is a different branch
@@Ihavpickle Air Force > Space Force. Navy > Marines. They are a different branch but falls under the Air Force...
@2 Many Remote Controllers Heh, but the air force breathes air nerd
Our Family LLC got the contract for veteran footstones. Today we finalized the paperwork on space force also. $24.7 billion is s lot of footstones.
AWESOME
We have weather sensors and other things and now we have record breaking temperatures. Now we have a space patrol. Guess what’s going to happen.
2:47 whats that ring around earth??!?!?!?
I’m sorry but his expression at 2:47 🤣
What a great way to invest our money. Hope they would keep it up and increase more military budget.
The US, cut a military budget? We were never fully demobilized after WWII.
Me - wow this is interesting
Also Me - don't show this it's top secret
I say send all the players into space. Let them fight it out up there. Leave earth alone.
Need to have bullet proof structure over that satellite. Lol
"High value satellite comms"
Me: hey I got that microwave
your ammunition' is no good when you run out of gas. or sidelights?
Hey look at this good idea that was even better until we all started talking about lmao
I don't like how he says "matter of hours" as if that's impressive. If it took even 1 hour for those semis just to get moving there's something seriously wrong.
Shoot looks like we need to start another space race. Like to see the next base be the moon or something
Space race to the dark side of the moon
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro, it's the terrorbyte from GtaV, lul.
Imagine. they are showing us this.. “we are ready”
How many nukes do we already have ready for deployment? How many minutes for a target acquisition? How many seconds from deployment to atmospheric detonation?
We need them NOW.
From who??????
They’re on the watch rumor has it Unicron is drifting closer.
Huh?
I know those aren’t combat patches
Bro we have great military achievements we are really equip
The Two states on West Coast is a Kingdom. Just like it was before.
Everyday we keep inching closer to our own demise. It’s absolutely pathetic
Yeah... pathetic that the enemy won't just accept our way of life as superior, our resource needs as priority, and surrender.
That's just the way it goes.
That’s humans for ya be proud to be part of it
@@YorktownUSA Yorktown NY?
How is that? Can you explain?
You mean we're being led to our demise. By psychopaths.
so when do they go full star wars? lol I'm kidding but this stuff is pretty cool all jokes aside.
Is the camouflage necessary?
Pontiac logo lives on in upside down Space force logo.
I don't think I can take them seriously untill I see some x wings, or in our case maybe tie fighters.
boy... a lunar base would be totally helpful here
Where are their directed energy weapons aimed? Into space or Maui?
Then build offensive weapons for space. If they are doing then you need to counter. Don’t repeat the hypersonic debacle
Smh hope we don't go war in space cause if so it's going to be bad for all nations we all will lost
They swear ppl coming for that truck what a waste of resources
What?
HERE COMES GALACTIC SPACE BATTLES!
That means they would attack Vandenberg Holyshit I'm dead
I can't for the "Interdimensional Force" next we gotta protect missing time etc.
Didn’t people made fun of Trump creating the Space Force branch??? 😂😂
Right
It's because they are liberals
On a more serious note if anyone starts a war in space that is it. We trap ourselves on this planet forever.
So all of a sudden where concerned about PAUL showing up hope he brings that good chit with him
y is there a Microwave inside that 18-wheeler ?
It is the Clef Chin, and Not pointy ears which is optical illusion it is in the NASA MODULE.
So they are the ones who can order a launch of Hypersonic Glide Vehicle armed with nukes from space.
Behind from hypersonic now to space. No wonder why they use the truck for operation
If China hasn't already. We need to get our things together.
Ok so your keeping it but Please change the star trek logo 🤣🤣🤣
Wait a minute, OMG! I’m sorry to detract from the topic, but the news reporters voice sounds like Swaggersouls voice
Yeah, how about we stop spending money on every country and start worrying about our own American future !
If I don't get a light saber or at least a disruptor pistol I'm not joining.
I am part of and a joint-founder of Space Force. Seeing as there is so much space satellite activity commercial, scientific, and military and to speak a dangerous truth there really isn't any exact metric difference, I do not object to the discussion of foreign space clutter here, although I actually mean no disrespect by the diction. My point is the main threat is not a foreign adversary but gravitationally multi and pan polar orbiting space rocks and lifeless exoplanets which mean us no harm but neither can be dissuaded from striking the Earth and doing great damage. There are no embassies in the dead cosmos; and these celestial objects literally have hearts of iron. I propose a U.S. Space Force armed, scientifically sophisticated space station outside the orbits of all the commerce and spy clutter, out with the international in terms of space distance, but classified. To secure non-interference and even cooperation with this space station, which is really meant to fire out into the cosmos to protect all Earth not downward at our Earth, this must be a matter of honor, we actually need relatively more international cooperation and good will in the space realm; though obviously this wil not be an absolute nor pervading all matters during this time of what the press could accurately describe as semi-world war if they assessed the statistics a little differently. But no matter; please build the Space Station.
I mean, I know we're supposed to be taking this seriously.. but after two seasons of Space Force, I couldn't stop laughing at this on the news earlier 🤣
Who told you we're supposed to be taking this seriously? - czcams.com/video/iWSOOW_iHn8/video.html
Congratulations you have fallen to propaganda... fake entertainment supercedes actual reality for you why?
They got it about right. All they do is watch satellites. Don't get me wrong. We need to do it, but that's all they are for. Let's be honest.
Potential attacts…..from what UFO’s?
Come on I grew up watching space cruiser Yamato or to everybody else Star blazers where are the freaking space battleships already, I know we haven't mastered anti-gravity but I'm pretty sure we can get magnetic boots going on.....
We can mobilize at 50 mph with our Mack truck
Did we have to call it Space Force? It sounds like the next Larry the Cable Guy movie.
That's what happens when a moron is voted in and allowed to name a branch of the military.
They could just call it Space Balls.
Better name?
But is it really a space force if they are not physically in space ?
Space war cool
