Space Force

Sounds fun - but what-ifs for sure outside ove the x-37b

To be honest, I kind of prefer the theme to the old "Star Blazers" better

Here's a vesion I like:

Space Battleship Yamato - alternate opening with original theme - YouTube

Then there's this song:

Original Macross Opening Song - English Sub - YouTube

Then there's an old Air Force song:

But it could be worse, Space Force sould have chosen the Up in the Air Junior Birdman song.  You'll have to look that one up, it goes back to the 1930s.

After 3 years in AF, I returned to school and then worked technology development for aerospace industry.  Worked many AF space projects.  I think the Space Force is decades ahead of its need.  For any space missions I see in the future, the AF could handle them.  I think the SF is a lot of useless additional bureacracy and expense.

Amen to that.  Air Force Space Command already handled that mission, and the facilities were already shared with the other, existing branches.

Augh! You beat me to it!  

Fighting with the Gamelons

We won't stop until we've won

Evil men with evil schemes

They can't destroy all our dreams!

Gotta love the music from Japanese cartoons.  It's like it has been their only outlet for martial spirit since the end of WW II.

And for the most part they have done it well.  With shows like Star Blazers, Macross, Dougram, Gundam, Votoms, and Crusher Joe, not to mention Godzilla and Rodan, they do seem to have a nack for that.

Some folks thought along the same lines regarding the new USAF long ago. The US Navy and US Army both have various Missile programs that overlapped into the space realms as well. Only time will tell if USSF was too soon.

I decided to pick up an astronuat model today and maybe play around with trying out some "moon camouflage" patterns on him 

The Starblazers theme!  Yes.

I also wonder if we need another DoD branch.  Unless we are ready to go off to outer space.  We're leaving Mother Earth.  To save the human race.  Our US Space Force.

I think it needs work.

And why hasn't Paramount beamed in yet with a C&D, for co-opting the Starfleet logo?

They could be too busy making remakes or sequels of old movies.  It takes a lot of brain power to do that.

But... This is the USA!  There's ALWAYS time for lawsuits!  Money grab, laziness, and lawsuits, what 'Murica is all about these days.

OK switching the cynical-tron off now.

There was a guy in my A.F. police school from Hawaii.  Sometimes he would come up with colorful sayings like Kiss my Mahu.. and even though we had no idea what he said we figured it out later.

I got to see Hawaii on my way to S.E.A. when we landed for refueling.  Everyone had to get off but stay near the aircraft.  I got to see my first palm tree, lit up by a light pole and a building.  Aboiut 20 minutes it was back on board and off to our next stop, the  Phillipines for crew rest before our final destination.
