It is my honour, on behalf of the President of the United States, to announce that henceforth the men and women of the United States Space Force will be known as guardians, Pence said in a statement according to the Associated Press. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and guardians will be defending our nation for generations to come. People would be remiss if they didn t notice that this is eerily similar to the very successful Marvel movie series, Despite giving trolls an easy lay-up, the Space Force stands by its decision. In a series of tweets, the branch explained that the title guardian holds historical relevance to the newly established initiative.
Today only one X-40A test vehicle remains in existence.
Here s What You Need to Remember: The X-40A was not the first step in a reusable space plane, a concept that had predated the original space shuttle by decades. The experimental scaled-down aircraft was also just one part of the efforts to develop a reusable spacecraft that could be used in low earth orbit missions.
Today only one X-40A test vehicle remains in existence, and it is in the collection of the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. However, the program, which is now largely forgotten, proved instrumental in the development of the X-37B–the United States Space Force s reusable space plane, which is currently conducting its mission in low Earth orbit.
