Well, a couple weeks ago a pretty smart guy when it comes to NatSec stuff & the re-emerging Great Power Competition penned this.
So before all y'all trash, read:

PS - I don't think a separate "Force" is the answer. But we do need to better factor in what peer/near peer competition is doing in space - as well as our role in that space.

No, actually I thought they were correct on both counts.
My father worked in aerospace as. An engineer for most of his working life for ARMA, Northrup and Simmons. All the stuff to the moon and beyond.
It would be good to see that pursuit of knowledge again.
