“I am hereby directing the Department of Defense and Pentagon to immediately begin…Space Force as the Sixth Branch of the Armed Forces.” Half Dollar’s Note: If we are indeed going to have a Space Force, the United States is going to be buying a heck of an amount of physical silver. Here’s just one example of how silver is popular in the Aero-space industry thanks to its ability to reduce the effects of galling (seizure) in high temperatures. For as good a place as any to start researching industrial use for silver, the Silver Institute lists ten ways in which silver is used in industry. Stack accordingly…

During a press conference Monday, Donald Trump announced that, as he hinted previously, he’s ordering the Pentagon to “immediately” establish a “space force” as an independent service branch. That’s right: Today might be the day that future generations look back on as the anniversary of the creation of the legendary US Space Force, guardians of intergalactic order.
Trump said “we must have American dominance in space. Very importantly, I am hereby 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.”

Pres. Trump calls for establishment of a "space force as the sixth branch of the armed forces."
"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." http://abcn.ws/2hFejwL
The force will allow the US to become “the leader by far” in space as it looks to revive the space program, which once fascinated a generation of Americans. Trump also vowed to return the US to the moon, and to reach Mars roughly around the time Elon Musk is applying for a non-extradition permits.
Poster Comment:
When the US (Obama) fired missiles at Libya, each one required 500 ounces of silver to make it.
One problem: The US does not make heavy lift rockets. The US lifts sanctions to buy them from Russia. If we go back into making heavy lift rockets, we will need more industrial high tech capacity. Silver is used as a conductor of electricity.
