The House is at odds with President Donald Trump’s plans to create a separate branch of the military focused on space, and instead wants to maintain current plans to create a space branch that’s under the Air Force.

The Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act directs the Department of Defense to create a new U.S. Space Command, but the House is undecided on whether the military needs a separate Space Corps.
