The Art of Misconception
​
The U.S. Space Force has fallen victim to endless misconceptions.
​
Contrary to popular belief, its main purposes are not:
-
Creating more astronauts
-
Fighting aliens
-
Destroying asteroids
​
…or any other fantasy-like assumptions
It's True Purpose
​
The Space Force serves a very real and essential function:
​
It protects American interests in space:
-
Namely, these interests include systems of GPS satellite technology
-
Which plays a vital role in protecting and preserving our everyday livelihood
