Alors non, chers lecteurs, cet article n’est pas dédié à la série Space Force de Netflix (de et avec Steve Carell), mais plutôt à cette vraie 6e branche de l’armée américaine créée par Trump et qui a inspiré ladite série ! Rappel des faits.

Le 18 juin 2018, devant la très sérieuse National Space Council, le président américain Donald Trump annonce la création d’une future 6e branche des forces armées des États-Unis, indépendante de la United States Air Force. Le 20 décembre dernier, par le 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, Trump a officialisé sa création. Son objectif : la conduite d’opérations militaires dans l’espace.

Dans un tweet, le président américain a récemment dévoilé le logo de cette 6e branche. Et ce logo a comme une toute petite ressemblance avec le logo de Starfleet... À vous de juger !

Trump a déclaré : "Après avoir consulté les Grands Chefs Militaires, designers et autres, je suis heureux de vous présenter le nouveau logo de la United States Space Force, la sixième branche de notre magnifique armée !"

After consultation with our Great Military Leaders, designers, and others, I am pleased to present the new logo for the United States Space Force, the Sixth Branch of our Magnificent Military ! pic.twitter.com/TC8pT4yHFT

... et la fanosphère Star Trek, mais pas seulement, a immédiatement réagi.

Ahem. We are expecting some royalties from this... https://t.co/msYcJMlqjh

We don’t money for public college, healthcare, SNAP, affordable housing, or clean water.

But we have plenty of money to plagiarize the Star Trek logo & create Space Force to fight off the invading Klingons. 😑 pic.twitter.com/p4vDZk4YKB

Donald Trump decided to rip off his Space Force logo from Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek, one day after everyone just watched Star Trek Picard and got reminded of what the Starfleet logo looks like.

Trump is the world's dumbest criminal, and it's not even close.

I would just note that the first space shuttle was named Enterprise, so Trek homage is nothing new for government space efforts.

Big problem is the Space Force should use naval ranks like Starfleet instead of this Air Force nonsense. https://t.co/kveJ8pR33m

it's actually good that they ripped off the space force logo from star trek and made it cool as hell

I mean, I like Star Trek and all, but maybe not on our official military uniforms ? https://t.co/Nt1g2Ue53H

It's a seal, not a logo. And the Space Force seal rips off a TV show. Are there studies showing a correlation between a regime's corruption and its incompetence ? It seems like corruption could breed the sort of disinterest in public service that leads to performance issues.

Just wait until the first act of Trump’s Space Force era is a Jedi ban.
