quote [ During a hearing on May 14th of the Subcommittee on Aviation and Space U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) argued that a Space Force is necessary to ward off space pirates.
"Pirates threaten the open seas, and the same is possible in space," he said during his opening statements. Since "the ancient Greeks first put to sea," Cruz argued, we’ve recognized the "necessity to protect waterborne traffic and commerce from bad actors." ] Climate change is a hoax, but the threat of space piracy is something we need to invest billions into. Totally sane and rational administration.

I watched it a couple of months ago for the first time since the late 80s or early 90s and... well, it hasn't aged well at ALL, but it's still funny and enjoyable.

So he thinks that there is no evidence for climate change, but we should spend billions to defend against space pirates just in case?

He's just voting the way the lobbyists paid him to.
