To quote Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock, 'In critical moments, men sometimes see exactly what they wish to see.' And people are seeing something familiar in the new Space Force logo.
New York Times culture reporter Sopan Deb, who posts often about his affinity for Star Trek, also joined in on the revelry.
"What if....Star Trek is real and Trump invented Starfleet? And that someone was sent from the future to create it today?" Deb tweeted. What if....Star Trek is real and Trump invented Starfleet? And that someone was sent from the future to create it today?The inspiration for the new Space Force logo, however, has precedent closer to its purpose than a hit television franchise. The precursory Air Force Space Command had a similar logo, as pointed out by John Noonan, senior counsel for national security for Sen. Tom Cotton and former U.S. Air Force officer.
The active-duty airmen and civilians working for Air Force Space Command were automatically assigned to the Space Force with its passage into law last month. For those excitedly tweeting that Trump stole the Star Trek logo!!!!, the patch on the left was the existing Air Force Command logo.
