The United States Space Force, the newest branch of the U.S. military, created to protect the country’s galactic interests, has given its members an official name: Guardians.
The new name came after a yearlong selection process drawing on hundreds of submissions from the general public and research from space professionals. The Guardians name goes back to the original command motto of the Air Force Space Command in 1983, “Guardians of the High Frontier,” the Space Force said on Twitter.
Overseen by the Air Force, the U.S. Space Force was created to protect U.S. interests in outer space. In 2018, President Donald Trump directed the Pentagon to establish a sixth branch of the armed forces to monitor commercial traffic and debris, initiatives he said would be “great not only in terms of jobs and everything else, it’s great for the psyche of our country.”
