Donald Trump's "Space Force" proposal is officially coming to fruition, according to an announcement made by Vice President Mike Pence this morning. Pence stated that the Pentagon has started the planning process for the Space Force which, if authorized by Congress, will constitute the sixth branch of United States Military.

The announcement comes two months after Trump called for a Space Force on the grounds that the US should have the potential to protect its military dominance in space against the likes of China and Russia, who have begun making their own respective outer-space advancements. Specifically, a Space Force would serve to defend American satellites from attack.

China and Russia are currently looking to "reduce US military effectiveness," Pence said in a report by USA Today.

Don't get too comfortable with the idea of having a Space Force yet, however. The Trump Administration still needs to get approval from Congress in order to receive funding, although Pence appears hopeful that they are gaining support for the plan.

Should the Administration receive the necessary funding, Pence stated in his speech that the Space Force will be completed by 2020, and that a US Space Command will be created beforehand, drawing officers and forces from other current military branches.

People on the internet have been offering their thoughts on the Space Force, many more snarky than others. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

The "illusion of free choice" memes refer to the times in life where it seems like our personal choices really make a difference - only, in these cases they just lead us to the same outcome. It's kind of a sobering reality, isn't it?

The 'Dabbing Dude' meme is a meme with something for everyone. No matter how old you are or how kind, most people can relate to the feeling of reveling in another person's misfortune or even inconvenience. This shirtless youth, gleefully dabbing himself into oblivion as he watches a girl fight, represents that exact feeling. 

While the premise is very basic, the meme is being used to describe some relatively complex ideas, ranging from politics to history. Versatile memes like this one tend to take off pretty quickly, so you can expect more great memes to come at you soon!

Tennessee Rep. Diane Black stated yesterday that she believes that it's pornography and a decline in "family values" that's causing school shootings in the United States. Pornography is available on the shelf in every grocery store without parental permission, she said. Many people, regardless of their stance in the gun debate, have come out saying that Black's assertion about pornography is completely off-base.

Fox News Pundit Tomi Lahren was having brunch at a restaurant in Minneapolis over the weekend when she got into a scuffle with a few other customers. As she was leaving the restaurant, someone threw their drink on her, and the internet is reacting by laughing their a$$es off.

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick faced a lot of backlash after he suggested that Friday's school shooting at Santa Fe High School may have been caused by the school having "too many entrances and exits," and not by the shooter's access to firearms. This is what people on Twitter had to say about it...

Election day was yesterday and Twitter users were eager to share how much a year has changed them. Think #transformationtuesday on steroids, and a whole lot funnier.
