Troops in orbit? US dominance demands Space Force ‘guardians,’ ex-military brass claim
A group of former military officers says human Space Force missions could tilt the scales against America’s enemies.
In a new report, the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies advocated the integration of man in space as the next step required to gain a tactical edge.
‘Astronaut guardians may be necessary to execute and secure missions that cannot be accomplished through remote operations.’
The Mitchell Institute calls itself an “independent, nonpartisan research organization” and consists of a plethora of retired military personnel. This includes a former Air Force brigadier general, general, and lieutenant general. Notably, the staff boasts retired Space Force Colonel Charles Galbreath, who serves as a director and senior resident fellow for space studies.
It was Galbreath who concluded the recent study that determined dynamic space operations with the Space Force will need to encompass orbital and terrestrial links, and establish space infrastructure in the future.
One of the most important areas of focus, Galbreath wrote, should be the need for crewed missions.
Labeling humans as the “most flexible system ever launched into space,” the former Space Force colonel said that “guardians in space” may be essential for future operations.

“Today, the Space Force does not have guardians operating in the space domain for military missions. However, as humanity’s interests in space go further from the Earth, astronaut guardians may be necessary to execute and secure missions that cannot be accomplished through remote operations,” Galbreath wrote.
The adaptability of human decision-making could present “fundamental challenges” to enemy decision-making procedures, he argued. For example, adding humans into a spacecraft would “raise the threshold” of acceptable hostile actions from foreign governments.
“Harming an uncrewed satellite is one thing; harming a space station with military crew on it is a completely different risk calculus for an adversary to consider,” Galbreath hypothesized.
As reported by Defense One, John Shaw, the former deputy leader of U.S. Space Command, recently appeared on a virtual event for the Mitchell Institute, where he expressed skepticism about putting troops in space in the immediate future.
“It’s probably when we’re projecting power across great distances, and it’s probably so they can be closer to an intense command and control capability where you need humans in the decision-making,” Shaw said.
Describing the placement of guardians in space as “inevitable,” Galbreath said during the same event that it’s going to take about 10 years to get the idea into practice due to the time it takes to develop the pipeline and training that would enable such a program.
“We can’t wake up one day and say, ‘My gosh, we need guardians in space.’ … We needed to make that decision 10 years ago,” Galbreath claimed.
According to the Mitchell report, there also exists a need for the Space Force to use alternate forms of propulsion, conduct in-space assembly, and create a supply chain for parts and infrastructure in order to fix satellites, for example.

‘F**k your dead homie’: Hateful leftists clash with TPUSA supporters as Charlie Kirk’s planned tour ends in violence
Violence erupted outside a Turning Point USA event on the UC Berkeley campus as protesters gathered to challenge TPUSA’s presence at the school on the final stop of TPUSA’s tour after Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September.
KTVU reported that protesters clashed on Monday with attendees outside Zellerbach Hall, where the event was scheduled to take place. Comedian Rob Schneider and Christian apologist Frank Turek headlined the event.
Other signs read: ‘Kirk said death penalties should be public, quick, and televised … Congrats Bud!’ and ‘TP belongs in the toilet.’
KTVU’s Crystal Bailey described a “rowdy” crowd outside the venue, noting that there was heightened security as well.
The event sold out the 1,900-seat venue, a UC Berkeley TPUSA chapter representative told KTVU.
Bailey reported that the protests turned violent as protesters and attendees clashed, saying that there was “blood splattered on the ground” as the result of an “altercation.”
In a now-viral video posted Monday night, leftist protesters and students could be heard chanting, “F**k your dead homie,” referring to late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was publicly assassinated exactly two months ago Monday.
The crowd can be seen holding signs that read, “This machine fights fascism,” “No safe space for fascists,” “Karma’s a b***h,” and “The lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of trash.”
Other signs read: “Kirk said death penalties should be public, quick, and televised … Congrats Bud!” and “TP belongs in the toilet.”
A large red sign with two hammer and sickle symbols could be seen with the words “Drown Fascism in a Sea of Resistance.” Underneath the slogan was an apparent reference to a group called the Revolutionary Student Organization. With a portrait of Mao Zedong on the “about” page of its website, the RSU participates in several forms of “direct action.”
In other videos from the event shared by reporter Andy Ngo, activists can be seen shouting incoherently at California Highway Patrol officers and igniting smoke bombs.
TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet still claimed the event was a success. “Despite Antifa thugs blocking our campus tour stop with tear gas, fireworks, and glass bottles, we had a PACKED HOUSE in the heart of deep-blue UC Berkeley,” he said, according to the New York Post.
KTVU reported that at least four students were arrested in connection with vandalism associated with the event.

Kamala Harris cackles uncontrollably while claiming she defeated Trump’s campaign strategy to bait her
Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris claims to have outplayed the campaign strategy employed by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
Harris made the comments while a guest on the “Storehouse and Friends” podcast hosted by Tamira Chapman. The podcast was published Sunday, but the clip of her comments went viral on social media.
‘I understood the game that was being played. And I made the decision that I wasn’t gonna get played!’
“I was aware of my opponent’s strategy, and I wasn’t about to fall prey or fall into those traps. And part of his strategy and those around him was to try to take me off our game and message,” Harris explained.
“And I wasn’t about to be distracted by those little, those flames that he was trying to throw to get me away from … my highest priority, which was talking to people about the economy and their well-being in terms of their financial well-being,” she added.
“And that’s, I understood the game that was being played,” Harris added. “And I made the decision that I wasn’t gonna get played!”
Harris cackled at her own joke and prompted the other women to similarly cackle.
“Chess, not checkers!” replied one.
“Three-dimensional chess! I’m telling you!” she added.
On the same show, Harris was asked by a co-host if she faced difficulties as a black woman, and she answered by blaming the Democratic Party.
“Often I feel like black women have this tension between, you know, who they are and the mission that they are trying to accomplish. I want to know if you faced any of that tension when you were on your mission, especially considering that your mission was race agnostic and gender agnostic. You were trying to do the work that the country needed,” asked Melissa Butler. “Did you find that you faced tension of that sort?”
“I think the Democratic Party has taken black women for granted,” Harris responded. “There are very specific issues that impact black women in America that should be some of the highest priorities.”

Harris is on a marketing tour for her campaign memoir titled, “107 Days.” The effort has been ruthlessly mocked and ridiculed by many on social media since she announced it in July.
Video of the entire show with Harris can be viewed on the show’s YouTube channel.
