Russia on Wednesday expressed alarm over US President Donald Trumps call for the United States to dominate space exploration and his plan to create a separate branch of the military called a Space Force.
Russian foreign ministry Maria Zakharova said at a briefing that Russia "noted the US president's instructions... to separate space forces from the air force," saying "the most alarming thing about this news is the aim of his instructions, namely to ensure (US) domination in space."
