Space Force announces what they’ll call themselves
Looks like Steve Carrell got it wrong. Space Force members will not be known as “Spacemen”. Vice President Mike Pence today announced that they will be called “Guardians.”

I am calling dibs on call sign “Star-lord”.
Did you happen to read about the latest comics storyline on that character?
Bisexual polyamorous? Might want to rethink that call sign
Ok I will let Commissar have it.
The SJWs will ruin everything they touch.
All my junior high sci-fi stories are coming true.
I wanna serve under Jadzia Dax. Be her Kling on, what a Trill. Get deep into that space.
Yes I know…I’m a bad dawg…I need to be punished…by her!
For me, it is Seven-of-Nine. I’d almost join the Borg to get close to that.
Understandable. She has terrific posture.
You guys, now, I feel obligated to inform you, (sorry in advance) I’ve met (seen from a non coughing distance during a VIP tour) Jerry Ryan at work. She was a royal bitch from what I saw. Talking down to the Public Affairs and just having a real condescending and shitty attitude at NASA. NOW, it you’re talking about an angry, hate fuck, yeah, she’s probably into that. And I walked around with her group long enough to see it was a personality trait, not a “I’m having a bad day kinda thing.”
I’ll tell you who was spectacular…
Nichelle Nichols.
She was SO polite and gracious and those people that talked to her and got autographs and such just said the nicest things about her and she has visited multiple NASA Centers and was just so nice to all.
Once you go black…. (it’s all pink on the inside??)
😀 😀 😀
Chippy, Thanks for that post, I’ve heard the same. FIRST saw Jerry Ryan on an old Matlock re-run coupla years back, no clue who she was. Lady Friend said, “Oh look, that’s 7of9.” And just as NPRC says a lot, I come back and said, “Who?” Welp, Lady Friend did the Google Foo on the StarJerkTrekWhatever and showed me. Ryan’s part on the Matlock show was as a young gold digging murderous BITCH, and she did it so well. And as her part as 7of9, it does appear to be a natural thing. So now we know.
I met Nichelle decades ago, very briefly at a Consumer Electronics Show. She was/is a Class Act/Person all around. I understand she is suffering from dementia and other age related problems right now. I post this tribute I found:
“(sorry in advance) ”
No need. I actually feel better now. Sour grapes, and all that.

It’s life Jim, but not as we know it.
DIS RE GUARD!
This one has the complete outro and its important
Voids
(Grin)
How about “fucking ridiculous waste of resources during a pandemic”?
Will their Officer Candidates still be called “Space Cadets”?
Guardians of the Galaxy?
Or…..
Starship Troopers?
I’ll go with the irony and satire of the latter.
Bring on the Career Sergeants and Sky Marshals, and the Mobile Infantry.
Co-ed showers, too.
I remember the first time I saw the co-ed shower scene. I thought what a morale booster, if you are going to put women in the infantry. But then real world women in the infantry will just be ugly lesbianese trolls.
Oddly, just saw the Burn Notice episode in which Meyer ( Diz) shows up… she aged VERY well. Shows the difference between a girl and a woman. You can have your 72 virgins…
Tia Carrera in Relic Hunter has definitely improved with age.
I still vote for “voidsman,” 40k-style.
Considering that terminology in light of what has been revealed the past couple of years regarding the government’s apparent acknowledgment of the presence of UFO’s, could carry with it a bit of an ominous connotation.
Guardians? Against what? What are we to be guarded from that that our existing armed forces don’t already guard us against?
My main regret in my long life is that I’m not likely to live long enough to witness our first meaningful contacts with extraterrestrials. I have long believed that humanity is the worldwide equivalent of those remote tribes on tiny islands in the Pacific and in the deep Amazon, Borneo and Philippine jungles who, until they were “discovered” thought they were the only humans in existence.
In its own way, most of humanity is just as limited in its vision as those aboriginal tribes.
“it” could carry with it…
“What are we to be guarded from”
Ourselves?
Agreed.
However, I have great doubts our gruberment or anybody on Earth had been in contact with ETs. There are many ways to explain those lights in the sky without resourcing to aliens.
There are two main reasons I see ET contact higly unlikely.
1) The distances involved are unsurmountable to any civilization technologically close enough to us to be recognizable. The time required to cross space would preclude any biological lifeforms, and non-biological lifeforms would likely be unrecognizable to us.
2) Any civilization capable for FTL travel would have already reached a “post-human” level of development and would be non-biological, as all biological beings can die and have a fixed liefespan regardless of how long it is, and therefore would be unrecognizable to us.
However I do think you are right and that universe is probably teaming with life, though that doesn’t mean most of them have reached a level of development that allows for interstellar travel.
But yeah, we are probably a lost island in the sea of the universe.
Joe, read what the scientists in this article say about these Navy patents opening up the path to intergalactic travel:
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37134/emails-show-navys-ufo-patents-went-through-significant-internal-review-resulted-in-a-demo
Lot’s of high intensity wave reduction going on there with plasma compression
for the high temerature superconductor. And that piezo electric grivtational
wave bending is the latest development in gravitational reduction.
Pretty simple when you think about.
Most of those “lights in the sky” are piezo electric discharges from rocks IN THE EARTH fracturing – QUAKE zones. Not all quake zones are known. The 5.8 quake in western Virginia a couple of years ago did a huge amount of damage and the USGS was NOT aware that the quake zone even existed until the quake happened.
There’s a previously undiscovered quake zone northwest of my house which shakes every now and then, and set off a frenzy of “WTF WAS THAT??” in a city not far from the quake, but it NEVER even jiggled a glass of water where I live. You had to be in a floor above street level to even know it had happened.
If we ever get into intragalactic travel, it won’t be in your lifetime or mine. I’m interested in his Inertial Mass Reduction Device. That eliminates the barrier to reaching warp speed. You don’t move, you just set the coordinates and you’re here one minute, and a destination the next.
Miguel Alcubierre is a Mexican physicist who worked out the equation/formula for warp speed a few years ago.
Nothing is impossible, but thinking makes it so.
Has Congress ratified the Intergalactic Status Of Forces Agreement yet? Just a matter of time until some Space GI gets shitfaced while out on Liberty, and ends up breaking into the home a local Space Alien and passing out on his couch.
As long as he cooks breakfast the next morning it’ll be all good!
The only thing he knows how to cook is shit on a heat shield shingle.
This is dumb, and thankfully, it won’t last.
I knew Trump would try to creat his own branch of service. I guess I should be glad it was something innocuous rather than some jackboot organization.
And right on cue, Commissar Pravadnik shows up spewing his “Orange Man Bad”
Party-approved Propaganda“Progressive” talking points.Seriously: if Trump were actually the kind of dictatorial megalomaniac you seem to believe he is (like, oh, Lenin and Stalin and Brezhnev and Mao and Castro and Pol Pot and [insert virtually any other Communist/Leftist dictator’s name here] were), you’d have been in a “reeducation camp” for close to 4 years by now.
Sheesh. You’ve been so full of crap for so long I bet the whites of your eyes turned brown years ago.
If he was as bad as the Commissar believes him to be, there wouldn’t have been an election to dispute. There would have been a coronation.
Naw, he would not have lasted that long at such a camp. His bones would be bleaching in the sun at the camp’s killing field.
Is there anything you won’t blame Trump for? You’re a fraud and a propagandist. A one-trick-pony, a mindless mynah bird stuck in an endless loop. Enjoy your locked down Bay Area shithole you’ve created. Please, don’t ever leave it.
You knew… wanna document that?
Knew because Trump kept talking about it?
Psychic!
“I knew Trump would try to creat his own branch of service. ”
You did, did you? All by himself. Amazing how someone with grabbed all those dictatorial powers managed to lose the election. Lost the “Mandate of Putin” probably.
“some jackboot organization”
Bush’s DHS? Gotta agree with ya on that one.
Totally uneccesary.
Hey, bureaucrats gotta bureaucrat. It’s Washington’s only growth economy.
Like the Red Pioneers or something, eh comrade?
As usual, Comrade Dumkopf is wrong and plain stupid.
Space forces have existed as TOE units since at least the 1960s. This is why there have been “Spacecon Battalions” and SPACECOM for literal decades. But why bring historical development into a quisling’s emotional outburst?
But reading history is raysis, eh comrade?
Tune in next time when Commissar Dumkopf gets REKT for his continuing stuidity.
All of our near-peer adversaries have also had or currently have a Space Force-equivalent armed force.
He is the retarded and non-entertaining Marx Brother
Chumpo
You and your far-left buddies are all on the same page. Again. Surprise.

Are you on the weekly talking points Email?
More tales from the hood… makin’ UCB look worse and worse one thoughtless post at a time.
Shit and run, dickhead.
Coming from the same Comrade Dumkopf whose side screeched that Russian interference got President Trump elected and now says that elections cannot be corrupted! I wonder if he doesn’t hyperventilate while he’s regurgitating his propaganda?
Not at all. Comrade Dumkopf remains calm and unruffled when denouncing better men and women. After all, he is not intelligent enough to see that his NKVD officer hates him as well.
The day will come when he is no longer useful to the party and he will magically become a Kulak and be sent to compete in the Holodimor games himself.
Like all true believers, he will not be able to admit the truth that the party was always evil, because that means he is evil. So it will be a “mistake” or some personal issue that landed his sorry ass in the gulag he gleefully dreams of for others.
His lack of vision and character are well documented in The Gulag Archipelago.
Seeing as how Trump is the “founder” of the Space Force, how long before it is disestablished?
Except for the whole, not created under Trump part, it would not last.
But alas, it was first proposed under Clinton, first funded under Obama, and designated under Trump. Trump just happened to be President when a plan’s timeline continued.
Of course, the left, which uniformly ignores both science and history will be completely ignorant of the 20 plus years of planning that went into this.
Just like “cyber” orgs, the concept predates the President who was in office at flag unfurling.
In fact, both “cyber” and “space” organizations have existed since the 1960s in various forms. The evolution of the thinking and organizational structures took decades.
They may formally name themselves “Guardians”, but anyone who thinks they’ll actually be called anything but Spaceballs is IMO deluding themselves.
Space Force walked right into that one.
In Zero gravity, Hack Stone will be able to meet the height/weight standards again.
Problem is, they will have width standards too; can’t overflow those acceleration couches, ya know. Maybe even volume standards.
And just like that, the waist measurement component returns.
That’s far worse than the Navy calling each other “shipmate” [insert “Arrgh!” here].
Airmen – Wingnuts
Seamen – Squids
Marines – Jarheads (or leathernecks)
Soldiers – Grunts (or apes)
Spacemen – Space Cadets
So easy, it just required some intestinal fortitude and disregard for their retirement to have come to a better name.
Should of been Gladiators.
