As now known, the US Space Force members will surprisingly be called the "guardians" going forward. The United States Vice President Mike Pence stated on Friday. The announcement was made during the very first-birthday celebration of the military branch. Pence stated that sailors, soldiers, marines, airmen, and the guardians will all be defending the United States for generations after generations to come.
According to an article by CNet, Pence stated that the Space Force, which was established back in December 20 of 2019, now officially has 2,000 military members with an additional 3,600 officers that have all filled out paperwork in order to transfer to this space branch of the United States military. Even the vice president stated that they are now anticipating an additional 6,000 members in only a short period of time.
In its very first year of operation, the Space Force was said to be working through the particularly long arc of accomplishments both large and small. It has reportedly overseen quite a number of satellite launches and even the start of a brand new mission for the X-37B space plane. It even now reportedly manages a constellation of United States GPS satellites.
