For the military space world, the big headline from Capitol Hill Wednesday was that the final version of the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act does not, and at least for now,require the Pentagon to create a unusual space corps.
This might seem like a victory for the Air Force. Senior leaders had fought back the House space corps provision that would have effectively taken away from the Air Force its ownership of military space.
It's a hollow victory, however. The 2018 NDAA is big on Pentagon reforms, and across the board,but it hammered the Air Force particularly tough.
