The new Space Force logo sure looks like the Starfleet logo (And the old Air Force Space Command logo); Update

UPDATE

A spokesperson for the U.S. Space Force explains the long history of the ‘delta symbol’ used in the logo:

More: We don’t know who specifically designed the Space Force logo. When asked, Maj. Will Russell, U.S. Space Force spokesperson, told Yello, "The President selected the United States Space Force seal from a number of seal options provided by the Department of the Air Force."

It’s basically the Starfleet logo, no?

Omg it's Star Trek.

WTF is happening here:

space force stealing its logo from star trek is another piece of evidence that we all died years ago and now live in a computer simulation

Makes you think:

What if….Star Trek is real and Trump invented Starfleet? And that someone was sent from the future to create it today?

Or maybe it’s just a reboot of the old Air Force Space Command logo?

For those excitedly tweeting that Trump stole the Star Trek logo!!!!, the patch on the left was the existing Air Force Command logo.
