Civilian Space Agency NASA Wants To Collaborate With Military Space Force

I'm looking forward to my upcoming virtual discussion with @SpaceForceCSO hosted by @mitchellstudies. On Tuesday at 9:30am ET, watch NASA TV to hear more about areas of collaboration between @NASA & @SpaceForceDoD.

Bridenstine is talking about Eisenhower wanting to separate civil space (NASA) from the military, enabling NASA to become part of U.S. soft power in DIME theory of national power. All due to vision of Eisenhower. #CSIS — Marcia Smith (@SpcPlcyOnline) September 16, 2020

Keith's note: So ... civilian space agency NASA is now looking at "areas of collaboration" with military space agency Space Force, according to Jim Bridenstine. I thought the whole point of having a civilian space agency was to have a civilian space agency - not a partner of a military space agency. Curiously, Jim Bridenstine was talking about the purposeful creation of a civilian space agency just yesterday.

Slippery Slope.
