The United States Space Force (USSF) became a massive meme subject immediately following its official establishment in December 2019. Internet users quickly pointed out the striking similarity between the USSF logo and the Starfleet Command insignia from the Star Trek franchise. Further ridicule ensued when the branch debuted its official camouflage uniforms, leading many to joke about the need for woodland patterns in the vacuum of space. The meme is typically used to poke fun at government branding, science fiction tropes becoming reality, and the 'Expectation vs. Reality' of a space-faring military branch.
