US Space Force Ranks? [Speculation]

All it really needs is a football helmet.

IMO, what it needs is pants that fit.

Maybe
it's "the style" but they look about six inches too long the way they bunch up like that.

I also think that you should either have no tie or cut your collar in such a way that at least the knot of the tie is fully visible. The half-hidden look seems stupid to me.
 
I like that they gave E-1 something.

I don't care if it looks like Star Trek, or BSG. There's just only so many ways to design things within a specific field, or design clothes, and besides, they work. It's just an easy bash. 'Oh it looks like Trek, BSG', whatever.

I still question the need for a full branch, when SpaceCom might had been viable, but I guess we're stuck with it.

Just...get better pants....
 
Remember that US Air Force plane with the laser onboard? Now imagine what a high powered version could accomplish if the US Space Force had an orbital platform that was able to rain down "A Holy Pillar of Fire" on any terrorist training ground from orbit.

Keep in mind this technology is over a decade old, who knows what they could do now?

The power needed to have a potent laser cross spatial distances and then 100km or so of atmosphere make this implausible for the time being, no?

Especially since we can't even get our Drone project spotless yet. They're efficient at taking out targets...but we're not very efficient at identifying those targets outside the most obvious of situations. A convoy of technicals spotted close by, sure. A training 'camp', sure. But the civilian causalities, misidentifications, and all that, doesn't make me confident in even another system further away with more hurdles to IFF.

It's my understanding is that it's kind of three lasers in one. The first heats the atmosphere to overcome any degradation and attenuation of the firing laser, and also allows the targeting laser to be "on target". To go one step further, there has been some advancement in particle beam technology as well.
 
Because, of course, we always know who are the bad guys and who are the good guys. I read that weaponising space rocks as kinetic energy weapons was on the agenda again. And so the astronauts become the cave men.

You'd really enjoy a film called: Real Genius with Val Kilmer.
