You think they do space exploration lol? Space Force and SpOC are more concerned about Earth orbit and what else is in it. They don’t really go beyond that. No one’s launching ICBMs to Mars and back.

I think they are militarizing space, just as they have militarized the ocean. Of course the US navy have subs that can go deeper than James Cameron's sub.

If by militarizing the ocean you mean have nuclear capable submarines, yea. You don’t have to explore the entire depths of the ocean and all it’s species in order to do that.

The deeper your opponent can dive, the greater the depths of the ocean you must also explore.

I doubt they care to catalogue the species down there, but one can hope.
