Good point. Perhaps in the mirror universe, as well.

Many of you clearly do not understand orbital debris. We aren't on other planets yet. :roll: Ending space exploration as we know it by weaponizing orbital platforms is pointless. It's also really sad. That's why this is actually a branding exercise to distract from corruption killing little kids in cages. None of you are funny.

Sure he would!

After all, every holodeck needs at least one squeegie boy!

This one's pretty cool. Eagle's tail is the wrong shape though.

After Trump tweeted the new logo, some Twitter users — including Star Trek actor George Takei — highlighted and joked about the similarity to the logo for Starfleet, the fictional space exploration and defense organization from Star Trek.

Pretty much this.

Its just a ploy to distract from impeachment.

We have been playing around with militarizing space for a long time. But we should keep on doing quietly. Making a big public stink about militarizing space just antagonizes other countries and just encourages a space arms race.

Seriously. The Warner Brothers version of Mars, the Roman god of war, would be the perfect symbol.
