I think mine is pretty good.
I am a American Spaceman.
I must master myself and master my phaser.
My phaser is a extention of myself....
I will answer my nation's call when needed.
Whether the threat be foreign or extraterrestrial.
I will orbit space and respond to any threat.
I will master the art of the force.
I refuse to turn to the dark side.
I will never bring shame to the force.
May I have the strength to spit upon my enemy should
he invite me to join the dark side.
Should I be struck down by my enemy's light sabre
I swear to return as a spiritual entity and continue the fight.
I will never leave another American Spaceman behind.
On this creed I swear my alligence to the United States Space Force.

I don’t think congress has to approve it but they would have to approve it’s funding and any personnel growth above the DOD’s current end strength.
Working parties and police calls never end....
If the only thing that comes out of the Space Force stuff is the memes? Worth it. My phone has been blowing up ALL. DAY.

Still waiting for ODST program 
Obviously, President Trump knows that we’re abkut to have to start fighting aliens. That’s why we’re making nice nice with the Norks, we’re going to need their missiles. :)
I was at an unnamed AFB, working with some folks recently, in CONUS. I was told that the drone pilots operate from there, and get deployment pay for conducting operations. In CONUS, flying drones, really! I was blown away, straight comedy. And these guys are considered "deployed"...no shit! They get the ribbons, awards and the whole 9 yards. Hilarious

Jokes aside, I think that the creation of a dedicated space force is a much needed thing. With how quickly we're advancing technologically and the finite # of resources on earth, space is going to be where we flourish as a species. I know this is going to sound kind of crazy, but bear with me and forgive my gross simplifications of science beyond me.
Whoever controls the orbital space between the earth and moon, will shape how our species evolves over the next hundred/thousand years. Easiest way to put this is, is to imagine you are on a large island surrounded by hazardous sea waves and tides. In the distance there is a smaller island, with calm waters and a natural harbor, that can be used as a staging point to explore more distant islands. Now imagine you're sharing your island with a bunch of people; whose temperaments range from, 'friendly' to 'crazy vindictive ex who wants to cut your nuts off'. If you wanna keep on living without resorting to cannibalism, you need to get off your island.
Gross oversimplification, but as a species... that's kind of where we're at.
By having a department in the DOD that focuses solely on space, we are safeguarding our ability maintain the equipment we have in outer orbit and project force out there in the future. Why the need to project force? The moon is going to be a gas station, construction site, and shipping point for our species. We better believe that lunar resources are going to be contested by all the fuck heads/despotic govt's here on earth. Looking at you China, you slimy bastards.
The way I see it, a US Space Force is an investment in our future and security.

Not to badmouth the Airforce, but I get the idea that it kinda already has it's hands full with current and future taskings. The establishment of a new department in the DOD by President Trump is pretty far thinking. A new Space branch keeps the balance of power between the services intact and keeps it's attention on defense and force projection in space.
Also, the Air Force is also kind of a budgetary monstrosity. Not sure if I want it getting bigger.
If the Marine Corps has the Marine Corps Ball will the Space Force have Space Balls?
May the Schwartz be with you.

Of course, and some dumbass Jar Head will try to get in the paper by inviting Princess Leah to be his date at the ball!
In all seriousness....
Is this a great idea to STUDY? Yes. Implement? What are the first phases of project management? Determine your need and feasibility, meet with the stakeholders, and define your requirements. A business mogul should know this. Our need for cybersecurity is so much greater than one for space and frankly, our cybersecurity efforts are 3-5 years behind other nations. You have major funding and manning concerns plus a dependence upon technology: some of which exists, some of which doesn't, and almost of it is vulnerable to...cyber attacks.
Good initiative, poor judgement, excellent memes.
