France-Macron declares creation of military space force command

French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday announced he was creating a national military space force command that would eventually be part of his country's air force.

The declaration -- made on the eve of France's Bastille Day national celebrations that feature a military parade down Paris's Champs-Elysees -- mirrors an initiative in the US championed by President Donald Trump.
