Space Force ready for liftoff: What Trump's second term could mean

With President-elect Donald Trump set to reenter the White House on Jan. 20, 2025, his affinity for space is likely to play a prominent role once again.

Trump signed a bill into law creating the Space Force in 2019, and now, about five years later, he will assume the presidency with the ability to further the objectives that prompted him to pursue the creation of the department. Trump was repeatedly mocked for creating the military branch, and it culminated in a short-lived series on Netflix starring Steve Carell and John Malkovich.
