Beyond the Wild Blue Yonder

<p>For the Air Force military space is now in the limelight following the release of Global Engagement: A Vision for the 21st Century Air Force. This pamphlet includes the most important Air Force statement ever concerning the role of space in the future of the Air Force: We are now transitioning from an air force into an air and space force on an evolutionary path to a space and air force. To make this transition according to General Howell M. Estes III Commander in Chief United States Space Command two major things must happen: One of them is a cultural change. We all grew up with the air part of the Air Force and many of us look at the space piece as being a little bit of a threat to the kinds of things that air power does. That attitude has to change. This paper included interviews with General Estes Major General Dickman DoD Space Architect Major General (S) Ward USAF/XOO and Mr Brent Collins PEO/SPace.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
