why shouldn’t the Navy own the space force? if science fiction taught me anything its that there will eventually be huge capital ships that operate like naval vessels, and it doesn’t seem like the Air Force would have the right kind of experience to deal with running those especially when they’re carriers

my cyberpunk take on us military reorg: 1) transfer all strategic missile, anti missile systems, interceptor bases, etc from the Air Force to the coast guard; move management of the army and air national guard to the coast guard; rebrand as the home guard and give responsibility for the military protection of actual us lands 2) merge army/navy/marines into the expeditionary forces for all our extraterritorial messes 3) I guess the Air Force leftovers can become the space corps and deal with satellites and any other developments in that area until the sci fi future where they become the interplanetary expeditionary forces

That's all Lego heads. You just notice it there because they don't usually have hair painted on

Caganer posted:does lego have any blackpeople yet? yes -- but only when they represent a specific real person who is dark-skinned originally all the lego faces and hands were made a non-human color to eliminate questions of race and allow any child to imagine the character as themselves. that worked fine until they started making branded sets with characters like tony stark or lando calrissian. obviously those two characters don't have the same skin color, and even a tumblerite would probably recognize that making them both yellow isn't appropriate. but lego couldn't very well just make lando's figure brown, because that would imply that the billions of yellow characters were all meant to be caucasian. so they compromised and now use the accurate skin tone when the figure represents a specific human -- pinkish or brownish as that may be -- but yellow for all the other ones. which really just raises further questions about this enormous population of yellow-toned people in the lego universe, vastly outnumbering the ones who look like us
