This has been a long time coming and I'm happy to see space as a military theater finally being given its due. The original "Outer Space Treaty" was signed by the member states of the United Nations in 1967. The over-arching construct of that treaty called for Space to be used only for peaceful purposes. And, since 1967, lawyers have been getting rich litigating what those two words, "Peaceful Purposes", actually mean!
There's a lot of work to be done standing up this new Command, and I wish them well. Let's hope the Air Force General in charge of this wasn't really serious in his response when asked about the initial priorities [sadly, I think he WAS serious]: "It's going to be really important that we get this right. A uniform, a patch, a song - it gets to the culture of a service."
