Now awaiting the Governor’s signature after making its way through the Legislature is a bill that will recognize the United States Space Force as a military service, enabling recruiters to work on California high school campuses, and offering the same educational opportunities to children of Space Force members as those enjoyed by members of other branches of the military.
The Space Force was created in 2019 to pursue “superiority in the space domain” for national security and to recognize “the growing threat posed by strategic competitors in space,” according to the Force’s website.
