New dress uniforms for the Space Force.
They do seem to like taking inspiration from popular sci-fi shows.
Pity most of them will be working in office buildings or tech jobs at bases rather than in, y'know...space.

Their recruiting video claims that they used to only have to worry about black holes, among other deep space phenomena, but now they also have to protect every orbiting piece of US machinery in the sky -- and that's why they exist.

My question is: when did they ever worry about Black Holes?

Oh, I'm sure they worried.  I just hope they didn't simultaneously think there was a damn thing they could do to help if one showed up.

I want my own BSG uniform! Where so I sign up? I doubt basic training is very difficult, I'm sure my out of shape, 53 year old butt can get through it.

Biden increased the Space Force budget by $2 billion.

What we need in addition to a Space Force is a Cyber Force. Right now, the US doesn’t seem to have a unified response to increasing cyber attacks from China, Russia, and other belligerents. It’s a bit scary to know how vulnerable our infrastructure is to hackers. 

Their uniforms can be sweatpants and a hoodie.

I wonder if Shaun Geoffrey Christopher is in training with the Space Force?
