President Donald Trump today talked about creating a U.S. Space Force, breathing new life into a concept that’s been proposed by lawmakers but opposed by Pentagon leaders.

His comments had an off-the-cuff tone, and made it sound as if creating a military service focused on defending the space frontier was his idea.
