We're getting neither .... we're getting this instead ...
That map projection though
- Make. Greenland. Bigger.
- RIP Australia.
I might be mistaken but I think that the comparison is wrong. Starfleet and the federation are not the same.
We want the federation and we are getting the terrain empire.
We want starfleet and we are getting space force
- We want the federation and we are getting the terrain empire.
  Why not build the federation? If billionaires can get their city states, it should be possible to start something with those who want it and grow from there.
  
  Earth is still not ready. If one other alien civilization started it and sowed up at our door, we word not qualify for membership. We are very far away from single world government and no wars / discrimination. It's not impossible but not something that can just be built.
I mean, looking on the bright side: Even the Federation universe had to go through two civil wars, World War III, and the eugenics war to get to where they ended up.
Strange that the Space Force logo is a combination of both…
Not sure how they can just steal the Star Trek logo tho…
- The original NASA logo was the inspiration for the star trek insignia.
  So really this is more like a nod to a nodder.
  
  You’re a nodder
  
  Sure, but compare NASA next to Starfleet / Star Trek next to Space Force. Two of them look remarkably similar…
- They're the US.
That reminds me, does anyone know where I could get an agonizer repaired for cheap?
- O'Brien can fix anything, and does his own Quality Assurance, so is extra cheap
what we wanted:

what we got:

i will weep for the futures lost, but i will not weep for getting mirror kira
It's ok. It just means we can cross over to the brighter side.
- Orca approved.
We don't know that yet. First we have to go through the nuclear war before we can get to Starfleet. We're speed running it now.
squinting
We're getting the Might and Magic devs? Is that why Q was a secret boss in MM6?
What we wanted
What we're getting
I guess the silver lining is we'll kill ourselves off before we ever make it off the planet to spread our violence elsewhere.
- Fuck yeah! I believe in us!
You say that, but we seem to be at least on track to a better 2050 than they had.
We've not had a eugenics war, drug-controlled supersoldiers, nuclear conflagration, nor a mutant genocide campaign, and we may not get the second and fourth.
- Yeah in the Star Trek universe they praised Elon Musk
  Guess we have already split off from that timeline. Unless of course the fascists will rewrite history.
  
  I feel like people overblow the Elon Musk reference. Even putting aside the plot twist, it's been nearly 200 years from now, and they had the whole nuclear apocalypse in the early 2000s, which would only further muddle things.
  People today praise Thomas Edison, and he was not that much better in many respects.
  It's entirely reasonable for someone in the 23rd century to lose some of the details that we might have today.
  
  Elon Musk still has time for a redemption arc. He might very well be the the person who finally kills Elon Musk
  
  It tracks, though, because
Swords in space??
Starfleet command now that's a cool name for your space agency
What does that mean? What's the second icon?
- Explained here: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Terran_Empire
  
  Oh I thought this was a StarCraft reference
