I don’t think he has any idea how “woke” the Joint Chiefs are (note the Navy Chief!)
Is the SPAAAAACEE FOOOOOORCE part of the Joint Chiefs?
Probably not, I don’t see any FLOUTUS designed uniforms.
Yep. Second guy from right standing in peccavi’s pic, with the asymmetric coat buttons.
(Left to right — standing: COSArmy, Commandant USMC, Chief Naval Ops, COSAir Force, Chief Space Ops, Chief National Guard Bureau(*); seated: Chairman, Vice Chairman)
(* former, replaced with a new guy this month)
(** there is a pending legislation to add the USCG Commandant (woman, again) as a full time member)
Different enough, but somehow cool, and a different blue from the AF or Navy.
Thank you for that; I assumed the Coast Guard had someone there and was trying to figure out which one it was.
The Commandant of the Coast Guard (currently Admiral Linda Fagan) is a “Non-Member Attendee” - at least for now.
The Republican Senate candidate for Pennsylvania retweeted an article about a gang-related shooting in Philadelphia carried out by an alleged illegal immigrant, blaming it on his Democratic opponent.
The story was from Philadelphia, Mississippi.
I don’t know if it’s just me? But that Space Force uniform looks strikingly like the uniforms used in the Star Trek TOS movies from the '80s. I don’t know if that design is common among militaries, but I have to wonder how deliberate the similarity is?
The pleasant irony of the USSF logo recording its foundation year in an archaic non-place-value numeral format that became obsolete as a computational tool nearly a thousand years ago is not lost on me.
Guys, are you sure you want to be embedding in your logo a permanent reminder of some of the, um, issues that US space programs have had in the past with ensuring consistent use of a single standardized system of units? Optics, people.
(Other than that, though, I’m all in favor of the Starfleet Command homage. You boldly go!)
I’m a Star Trek fan so yeah, I’m actually okay with it.
Wasn’t the Star Fleet logo based on some prior USAF one?
Bless her heart.
Very loosely based on the NASA “meatball” logo first seen in 1958.
The stars, the orbit, and you can make out an abstract arrowhead shape from the red part.
Space Force is much closer to Star Fleet than Star Fleet was to NASA.
You mean chronologically, in mission, or in logos?
Correct.
Logos, I really am not sure what the mission of Space Force is supposed to be.
Chronologically, if Star Fleet were to form for real at the same time as it did in Star Trek, it’s almost 120 years away. NASA was founded 66 years ago.
Wow, they actually have a mission statement!
“secure our Nation’s interests in, from, and to space.”
“We did not hire a corporate marketing team to develop a catch phrase. " And it shows!
Spaceship! SPACESHIP!
