The uniforms were inspired by Starship Troopers, a 1997 space epic about a future Earth governed by a fascist regime that wages war against giant alien bugs

    They’re doing full Space Nazi, huh? I guess that shouldn’t be a surprise.

    The graphic says the design is “inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform. Modernized for the guardians of the space domain.”

    Right wingers are really the undefeated champs at not understanding satire.

      They don’t even do anything, they just manage satellite orbits, not even all of the satellites, not even all of the US satellites, they manage a small subset of satellites. The uniform and the actual job are completely at odds with each other.

      In actuality this uniform is going to get covered in cheese puff dust.

      hate to break it to you, but they indirectly did win. took a few decades but their ideals are here and have won. Hell they won so hard even the people they wanted to exterminate said “you know, their ideas weren’t so bad”

    I guess when you’re a fat pedophile and the economy is tanking, you’ve lost a war, you’ve been rolled and made to look like a fucking moron by multiple foreign leaders, and your construction projects are as much a failure as your governing - it’s logical to focus on vanity. Pretend like your multiple failures and embarrassment aren’t a problem and draw some AI gi-joes to make yourself feel better. This fat pedo can’t die fast enough. Thanks to every fucking moron magat who voted for this clown.

    Well at least we aren’t pretending we’re fucking Nazis anymore. Good work America, now no longer is the what would I do if I were a German at the start of Nazi Germany no longer a thought experiment, but we are going to fall to a fucking orange pedophile moron and a bunch of ghouls. Land of the fucked and home of fuckers who like to sexually assault children.

    Happy Labor Day you piece of shit USA.

    Edit: Fuck trump and fuck ICE you are either with the U.S. or you are part of Epstein/Trump cabal and an enemy of our democracy.
