Stunt-President calls for MAGA in space … invest in its badly designed commemorative coins.. oh wait... these are shiny objects to distract us from #TrumpRussia...
The reality is that Space Force is imperialism in space because of a variety of nation-state space efforts that include a Chinese interest in the Moon and Mars. Then there’s the US cooperating with Russia on space launches and using their launch engines but in the Trumpian view, it’s always about his capitulation to Russia. Because one way or another, he’ll get those Russian hotel project kick-backs even if he has to grift his base with pathetic branding campaigns to pimp for an unnecessary reelection campaign.
Unlike JFK, whose civilian space program promise was a means to direct the MIC in improving the nuclear arsenal’s accuracy and telemetry, Trump’s interests are as always, much more mercenary and low-brow. He wants that Elon Musk Space-X vibe from the business press, and $8b not used for healthcare is no different that the $70m to support his golf trips.
The Trumpian legacy will be that fast-food version of history, because sports-betting Americans will want a casino in space. The Trump spawn will want in on that space hospitality/tourism market, and maybe a chance to annex Asgardia as a client-state, or at least use it as a tax haven.
Space tourism is space travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. There are several different types of space tourism, including orbital, suborbital and lunar space tourism. To date, orbital space tourism has been performed only by the Russian Space Agency.
As an alternative term to "tourism", some organizations such as the Commercial Spaceflight Federation use the term "personal spaceflight". The Citizens in Space project uses the term "citizen space exploration".[6]
Because they call it The Royale over there.
It's the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they're a little different.

Example?

Alright, when you .... into a movie theatre in Amsterdam, you can buy beer. And I don't mean in a paper cup either. They give you a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy beer at MacDonald's. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
[JULES]
They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
[VINCENT]
No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
[JULES]
What'd they call it?
[VINCENT]
They call it Royale with Cheese.
[JULES]
Royale with Cheese. What'd they call a Big Mac?
[VINCENT]
Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.

A quarter-pounder, in France is known as a Royal Cheese - slightly off from Pulp Fiction's 'Royale with Cheese'
It's interesting to note that since the words for both 'burger' ('burger') and 'cheese' ('fromage') in French are masculine nouns, the adjective corresponding to either of them (depending on which interpretation you choose) would also be the same gender - i.e. 'royal', and not 'royale'.

Space Law and the Law of the Sea are still complex matters considering that we still have piracy, but there will be scams like Asgardia when you can launch a server into space and call it a nation (a 85% majority white-male one apparently).
Just wait until the Bundy snack commandos launch their flat-earth affirming satellite, just another step to that planet Trump (see Harcourt Fenton Mudd). Who needs tax havens like the Isle of Man or the Grand Caymans.
Asgardia, also known as the Space Kingdom of Asgardia, is a group of people who have launched a satellite into Earth orbit. They refer to themselves as "Asgardians" and they have given their satellite the name "Asgardia -1". They have declared sovereignty over the space occupied by and contained within Asgardia -1.
The Asgardians have adopted a constitution and they intend to access outer space free of the control of existing nations. They are in the process of electing a 150-member parliament and they are planning to seek recognition as a nation state.

According to Sa'id Mosteshar of the London Institute of Space Policy and Law: "The Outer Space Treaty... accepted by everybody says very clearly that no part of outer space can be appropriated by any state." Without self-governing territory in space where citizens are present, Mosteshar suggested that the prospect any country would recognise Asgardia was slim.[28]
Like The Martian, Trump poops on the public purse in order to survive, but maybe we can distract him by naming one of Jupiter’s moons after him, perhaps the one whose orbit comes closest to Uranus.
Remember how RWNJs clumsily imitate credible, legitimate institutions, counting on your inability to type correctly, like ACLU and ACLJ:
In retrospect, Trump is even a shittier businessman than we thought, because he could have gotten so many detractors to buy Trump Helsinki merch.
