Deeply Ironic "News"

United States Space Command already existed, from 1995 to 2002.

It was stood down because it was redundant. The mission itself was being accomplished by other commands and agencies, including US Strategic Command. Which inherited the space mission after USSPACE was disestablished.

This isn't even a proper half-measure to a "Space Force." This is just a feeble excuse to bump up the number of general officer billets.
