Someone working for the US Space Force must be a Trekkie. Star Trek fans say a new logo is a direct ripoff of Star Trek's Starfleet Command logo.

President Donald Trump revealed the new logo for the Space Force on Friday via Twitter.

[...]As soon as it was posted, eagle-eyed Star Trek fans responded, pointing out the logo's similarities to the Starfleet Command logo. The arrow, the swirl around the arrow, the star background and text placement are almost identical.

Cultural references and inspirations are only allowed for the right people?

    As of now, bots have more issues than meatbags.
    You send bots where meatbags cannot go. High radiation, temperature, risk of blowing up places.
    Else, a human is better reconfigurable.
    So, it is difficult to explain how come humans could be repeatedly sent to the moon 50 years ago using less computing power than a pocketwatch of today and all people did later is sending RC stuff and even crashing stuff.

    I'd say we've gotten over reliant on our tools, and made ourselves dumber. What was done back then with pen and paper and a sharp brain is now delegated to cobbled together software with a limited interface*.

    *) I have no actual knowledge of what software is used, but I'm all too familiar with the quality of software even in so called service critical segments. And don't get me started on science/academic software interfaces...
