Space Force no.2: Mars Awaits



This was initially inspired by this article on Sputnik International, about the six military bases up for consideration for Space Force headquarters. After some curious digging, I've noticed they've gone from "Mars Awaits" to the slightly more modest "back to the Moon in 5 years". Of course, the goal that's grabbing the attention of millions of us is VP Man From GLAD's consideration of nuclear weapons deployment in space.

Goes without saying Elon Musk is on board with the idea; I'm guessing his long game will involve a need for a few hundred Space Grunts to guard his gated Martian colonies for the rich.
