WFB: The U.S. Space Force successfully launched its first rocket Thursday, sending a military communications satellite into space from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
The Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite will join five others of its kind in orbit, giving America’s terrestrial troops complete global communications coverage.
A news article that’s not about coronavirus… I must have entered the Twilight Zone.
Perhaps they should name that first space satellite of the US Space Force after Robert A Heinlein or at least after Arthur C. Clarke.

RADIOATIONMAN loves him some EHF
that comes after SHF super high frequency.
I operate on HF VHF & UHF. The last freq band
is LHF {ludicrously high frequency} HaHaHa !!!!
I got that from big helmet dude in Space wars parody.
Next up, start sending payloads in suborbital flights back to China. Might I suggest members of the Democrat party?
This is a big deal. It’s a Trump deal. (yes I know this was planned years ago)
People have forgotten how hard it is to put a rocket into space. And how fun it is to watch.
I just wish it wasn’t a department of the Air Force.
The zoomies get all of space?
Fine. Army can take all the desert planets and the Marines get all the planets that have beaches.

That just leaves all the disco planets in the navy.
I’m hoping the Navy will be arm wrestling the Air Force for naming rights in space.
If I’m invading a new planet, I want to go by space ship. Not a fuggin’ space plane.
Think about it. You get attacked in space, you want your Sgt. telling everyone to hit the deck or hold onto the floor?
AIN’T NO DAMN AIR IN SPACE FOR YER FANCY ROCKET JET AEROPLANES.

Hey Aaron how did you get to be the nammer of names.
I like Death From Above Force. Are motto is “Don’t make us come down there”.
Aaron – damn right. Plus, the Air Force isn’t one of our founding, Constitutional forces. So, the Navy can take it over anytime the damn please.
You think I’m kidding? The U.S. Navy runs the country. The Deep State just thinks they do.
This is such great news. It should have been the headline news.
(Go Army! Haha…)
S P A C E F O R C E !!!
Awesome achievement! Once Barry’s flying carpet dihimmi NASA administrator was fired, President Trump restored NASA’s original mission. The new administrator seems to support Pres. Trump’s vision for NASA;

Thank God for President Trump and Space Force!
There are many things obama (lower case intentional) did that I loathe, but his “distruction” of NASA is on the top of my list.
