In this June 18, 2018, photo, President Donald Trump holds up the space policy directive that he signed during a National Space Council meeting in the East Room of the White House in Washington. Trump is moving closer toward his goal of creating a Space Force, but it won't begin as a separate military branch as the president envisioned. The Space Force instead initially will be created as part of the Air Force, but could be spun into a separate military department in the future. That's according to senior administration officials who briefed journalists on a directive Trump is scheduled to sign Tuesday to establish the Space Force. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) **FILE**
