Good morning. 🌻🌻🌻
25 June 2026
I’m once again sitting here staring off into space, trying to put some thoughts down, and Charlie’s mealtime has arrived just in time to break the spell of my space‑staring.
The idea of a Space Force with real Guardians is cool. I love their dress uniforms, especially that diagonal front layer on the coat — very Buck Rogers‑ish. And with individual members called Guardians, it’s hard not to picture white armor and blasters. Honestly, I still wonder what was wrong with “spaceman.” I’d bet money that name was at least in the running. And here’s a thought — one you’ve had too, don’t deny it — aren’t they, for all practical purposes, Guardians of the Galaxy?
In the Army, in my official capacity, when I needed to address someone whose name or rank I didn’t know, I’d call them “soldier.” So I imagine that in the Space Force, when calling out to an individual member, an officer or NCO would call out “Guardian.” It sounds funny because so many comic book, fantasy, and sci‑fi characters carry that title, so our minds automatically make that connection. It’s biology.
But the meaning of “guardian” is straightforward: someone who watches, protects, and keeps others safe. I won’t pretend I know the full scope of what they do, but my guess is they watch — constantly. The U.S. Space Force exists to protect America’s satellites, secure the space domain, and ensure the entire military can communicate, navigate, and operate anywhere on Earth.

#BlueOrigin Rocket Blows Up on Florida Launchpad During Test
The rocket, built by the #JeffBezos owned #space company, was to carry 48 #satellites into space. Blue Origin reported on social media that “all personnel have been accounted for.”
The fireball badly damaged the launchpad & surrounding equipment at the Cape Canaveral “#SpaceForce” Station.… Repairs will most take months, at the least.
