I honestly don’t know if this is silly or useful. Still… kinda cool:

‘Starfleet’ amendment puts Space Force in a political bind

In short, the amendment, put forward by former Navy SEAL Rep. Dan Crenshaw, would use Naval ranks rather than Air Force ranks. This may have been spurred on by an op-ed written by William Shatner. 

Beyond changing names – Colonels would become Captains, for example, I’m not sure what *practical* difference there would be. There would doubtless be a change in the *feel* of the thing I suppose. And of course if Biden wins – especially if the Dems gain in the House and Senate as well – the whole Space Force will stand a good chance of vanishing like the Apollo Application Program, the Space Exploration initiative, the Nova booster and all the rest.
