Summary

Back in 2019, the Trump Administration launched Space Force and Congress soon approved redesignating the Air Force Space Command into our sixth military branch. While its creation was both historic and important to President Trump's legacy, it either was mocked by critics or got little attention from the media. Earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown, General David Thompson, Vice Chief of Space Operations for the United States Space Force, joined host Dave Anthony to discuss the mission of Space Force, how they're building it from the ground up, whether they feel the support of the current administration after White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was accused of making fun of the armed service. Gen. Thompson answered a lot of questions about Space Force and explained why they will be critical to protecting America in the coming decades. However, the conversation was too long and we could not include all of it in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra you will hear our entire conversation with General David Thompson, Vice Chief of Space Operations for the United States Space Force. Learn more about your ad choices.
