Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States

I remember, I believe it was, was it Senator Bob Smith was from New Hampshire, was it? When he was running for president, actually talked about the idea of a Space Force if memory serves.

And then you had the Rumsfeld Commission, which was over two decades ago, that also talked about whether there should be some sort of Space Force.

So the conversation's been there for a long time.

I think the realization of the importance of space It really traces back maybe to the first Gulf War.
