Should the United States establish a Space Coast Guard?
Only if they're issued Forbidden Planet-style uniforms and required by regulations to say things like "Jumping planets!" and "Go space yourself!" at regular intervals.
Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Plus Colt-Vickers Disintegrator Guns. They have to have blasters.

I prefer a space guard that has colorful side kicks who provide comic relief and hot blonds in miniskirts. :)
ReplyDeleteThink Big - establish Starfleet under the Auspices of some large interplanetary organization. Use the the United Nations as a model for some galactic Federation.
ReplyDeleteOh wait....revise that... create Starfleet, use it to smoke the United Nations, then create the Federation to promote Human Hegemony across the Galaxy.
