LIFER Posted December 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2019 Okay, I am hearing about a new branch, under the Air Force, called the Space Force. I have seen a proposed logo for it. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdogchristy90 Posted December 14, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 14, 2019 From what I know it's part of the new defense budget? What will happen is the current "space program" that is run by the Air Force will be spun off into its own branch. The new "Space Force" will be kind of like the Marine Corps. Where as the Marine Corps is its own individual force, it falls under the Navy. Similarity the Space Force will be spun off from the current Air Force and be its own branch, but will still fall under the Air Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy53 Posted December 14, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 14, 2019 Not just Air Force, other service's space operations will also be rolled over into the new service force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightpath Posted December 14, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 14, 2019 I'm not concerned about the new insignia, I'd just worry about a possible new uniform and who chooses it. Nooooooo!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy53 Posted December 14, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 14, 2019 Thing is, one of the Space Shuttle missions actually demonstrated this need. The mission involved a full military crew with a classified payload. With the formation of this sixth branch, comes the declassification of a bunch of Air Force space programs. Looking forward to seeing more information on programs like the X-20 Dyna Soar and Blue Gemini. BTW, I can't see the insignia in with my browser.

Just curious, why do you think it will bring a bunch of de-classifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted December 25, 2019 Share #10 Posted December 25, 2019 In 2007, they promised us that by 2017 we'd have shuttles that could land a squad of Marines anywhere on earth in hours by entering orbit...it kept me around...and never happened...

stratasfan Posted January 9, 2020 Share #11 Posted January 9, 2020 We were in the PX at PAtrick AFB yesterday, and there was a hat with a patch on it that was the NASA blue circle with the red double-slash but instead of "NASA", it said "USSF". Wondering if that is the Space Force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if that is the Space Force? It may have just been a novelty item. Despite the extensive history of military involvement, NASA is primarily a civilian agency dedicated to the peaceful exploration of space. It would not be in their interest to have one identified with the other, even symbolically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
