Technically speaking there’d be no public reason at least to create an entirely new section of the National Guard for Space that couldn’t be handled by creating a formal section of Military Reserves. As the State Governments wouldn’t be in a position where they’d likely need to make use of them in their space capacity. Unless this a subtle way of telling us we’re going to have States on Mars or something at some point. In which case it’d be easier to establish the Space National Guard now as mandatory for all states in the Union. Just to cover ones bases and avoid needing to specify exceptions and extra legalese.
Alternatively it’s a round about way of cutting costs for the Federal Government. By more or less forcing the States to maintain a Space National Guard that’ll ultimately never be used by the State Governments in their intended role. So the Federal Government can avoid needing to add more units to the roster of National Reserve Units they’re responsible for paying upkeep for. Even though they primarily are going to be the ones using the Space National Guard as an unofficial Reserve for Space Force.
