more than just about armies, navies, and air forces. but also what defines us as a people in our economic strength and culture and the rule of law. though several things working together hopefully will lead toward a peaceful world. in europe, our friends in europe a russia that by is increasingly disruptive in what it seeks to do. that has had the effect of revitalizing ally to defense spending, military modernization and readiness. what is still the most important alliance in the world and that is the north atlantic treaty organization. the nato summit that recently concluded, despite the headlines was a very good summit that delivered quite a few important conclusions and set the alliance on a good path toward combating the threats. course has been at the desired defense spending level for quite a while. we should pay tribute to the europeans for kicking in over $40 billion towards revitalizing the economic strength of the defense agreements. the u.k. has troops in estonia, and poland which form a core of the nato defense in europe. i

space—based weapons, and putting them all under a separate branch on an equal level to the navy, the air force and the army force and the army. obviously there would be some bureaucratic obstacles to this, particularly from the air force, the evalds get $11 billion a year for what they do as regards to missiles and space defence, so i have a feeling that they are going to be very quick to raise objections to this. by 2020, that sounds fairly ambitious target, particularly considering all the obstacles that might be in its way. exactly. the first and foremost is this would have to be authorised by the us congress, and mike pence in his speech today said that his administration was reaching out to congress to help smooth the way for this. they are taking steps leading up this. they are taking steps leading up to that, someone in the department of defence would oversee space command and help set up the structure for an eventual separate branch of the military. but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in congress right now to do anything like this. one democratic senator tweeted out earlier today t

expeditions with around the world, and we have a very tight relationship as does our navy, our air forces and our army. we are more than allies. we are friends. and we share common values, common purposes, and we think the same way. react to the threats that face us the same way. these are crucial times that we live in. the 21st century has announced itself as a messy century full of different centers of gravity, big change in what defines national security, more than just about armies, navies and air forces and marine corps but also what defines as a people, our economic strength, our culture, and the rule of law. those several things working together hopefully will lead towards a peaceful world. in europe, our friends in europe are challenged by a russia that is increasingly disruptive in what it seeks to do. that has had the effect of revitalizing ally defense spending, military modernization, and readiness in what is the most important alliance in the world, and that's the north atlantic treaty organization. the nato summit originally concluded -- recently concluded despite the headlines was in fa

we have them in the air force, the army, the navy. hall we pull all of those out and create a separate force for air and air alone so it's fully integrated? the real question is, is the juice worth the squeeze. because you go through a major reorganization for anybody who's ever been through it. you will spend years -- you heard brian say 1, 2, 3. i'll bet it's 5-10. look at dhs, the thrashing that this is gone on out eventually are it be setting out, and is that thrashing going to support your momentum or help you achieve your goals and the challenges that we have on our plea. i come down to i don't think so. i wouldn't vote many favor of it. . as public officials, we always very openly talk about our challenges, and we are honest when we testify before the congress. and there are challenges in the space enterprise. and what you've heard about our adversaries catching up to us, getting closer to us technologically, being able to threaten certain assets, i all of this is true. but i don't want to leave anyone's doubt in my anyone's min

[laughter] there are certain unique skills brought by each of the services, which if you say we are going to make it one big joint force, it harden studied, it is too to bring them together, to bring this unique skills together. however, there are a lot of efficiencies or otherwise that we could do in this regard and pull them together. some say it why we have naval air and an air force? because when the concept was brought to the air force, all things navy air did we would like you to do, i cannot do that, and the transition would take decades. this is a consistent question brought up by almost every administration at one level or another when they take over and assume control and come to the pentagon. michelle: i will close on the final question. this is proba

pentagon also plans to reorganize the existing air force space command which is currently a lead agency on space. though, each of the military departments, the army, navy air force, have their own space command or brigade. now the change would heavily affect the air force, but it's unclear how involved air force officials have been in the planning process. it would have to pull from the other services to create a cohesive unit. for the president willing to cut military exercises, it's not clear which branch would bear the heaviest brunt. current branchs, falling under the department of navy make up more than 80%. >>> all right. joining us now former nasa astronaut and u.s. retired navy captain scott kelly. >> good morning. walk us through this. creating a new branch of military. this is a massively expensive and bureaucratic effort, sort of the opposite of what this administration claims to be doing across the board. give us your view. >> well, it certainly sounds that way, stephanie. i think any time you add more bureaucracy to an already large bureaucra bureaucracy, it's going to cost a lot of money. the capability we're talking about is something th
