When it comes to defending America,
it is not enough to merely have an American
presence in space, we must have
American dominance in space.
So important.
Very importantly, I'm here by directing
the Department of Defense and Pentagon
to immediately begin the process necessary
to establish a space force as the sixth branch
of the armed forces.
That's a big statement.
This time we will do more than plant our flag
and leave our footprints,
we will establish a long-term presence,
expand our economy and build the foundation
for an eventual mission to Mars,
which is actually going to happen very quickly.
And, you know, I've always said
that rich guys seem to like rockets,
so all of those rich guys that are dying
for our real estate to launch their rockets,
we won't charge you too much, just go ahead.
If you beat us to Mars, we'll be very happy
and you'll be even more famous.
