Is it? Where I hear the name Space Force my mind doesn't go to people keeping tabs on satellites. It goes to ships using railguns or something to shoot at other ships hundreds if not thousands of miles away.

It just sounds like Trump wanted something cool sounding and said fuck it I'll essentially make Starfleet but you know....without the fleet. So much so that the logo looks like Star Trek.
The reusable rockets Musk has changed the economic equation for space access.

Space Force is not meant to be Starfleet, it's meant to be space-Air Traffic Control mixed with space-Coast Guard, and getting it spun up before it is obviously needed is called getting ahead of the curve, instead of playing catch-up later.

The logo pre-dates Star Trek. :rolleyes: Why do people keep repeating this shit?

The Space Force logo is just an updated version of the Space Command badge that's been in use since 1982.

It is itself based on an arrowhead used by the Space and Missile Systems Center which has been in use since the 1950s.
