I read with some interest Alexandra Petri's call for support of the president’s proposed Space Force, and while I quite agree that nothing in the universe could possibly be more important or timely, Alexandra, I don't think you have thought this out to its conclusion.
The demand for space cadets could decimate the president’s Cabinet.
