The Space Force Unveils Sempra Supra

The U.S. Space Force now has an official song:

I don't know about that.  Kind of reminds me of theme songs from Japanese animated shows from the 1960s:

Hmm.  Well, let's just say that I like the Strategic Air Command March a lot better.

Oooops.  I should have read this before I posted it just now.

Sounds like it was written by Buck Rodgers and Hammerstien.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

What the hell is the "Space Force" anyway? What is the point of it?

"The U.S. Space Force now has an official song".... disgusting. Both the song and the whole "Space Force" idea.

Space Force officer candidates attend the Air Force Academy.  If West Point freshmen are known as plebes, and Naval Academy students are middies, how are Space Force candidates addressed as to distinguish them from their Air Force classmates?  Could it be they are called …………………(wait for it) ………………… Space Cadets? 🤪

They are called Guardians (33:00 of the Star Talk video).

Just another military service to spend billions of dollars on.  They will be competing with the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force for more dollars.

The music is a Sousa march, "The Invincible Eagle". I kinda like it.

The Star Talk segment was quite good.  Did anyone else notice that Major General Burt's eye color matched her chair color? 😄 

Favorite line:  "You are the very model of a modern major general."  😄😄

From Gilbert and Sullivan's 'The Pirates of Penzance.'

[MAJOR-GENERAL]
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I am teeming with a lot o' news
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse

Does anybody know where Air Force territory stops and Space Force territory begins?  Is there an altitude beyond which the Air Force is intruding on Space Force turf?  Is there an area where both can operate at the same time?

It's a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces that focuses on space operations such as satellite launches and control, missile early warning, space surveillance, the GPS system, and others.  That's from Wikipedia.

It used to be part of the Air Force and was designated Space Command, but the President and military big-wigs decided to make it a separate branch.

It really should be separate from the Air Force as it operates in a different theater and has a different mission and equipment.
