Leaking or deliberate act?
In the days when the world was excited about the first tourist flights to space, the prototype of the new uniforms of US space mission soldiers was unveiled these days, and managed to provoke a wave of mocking reactions to its overly imaginative resemblance to science fiction classics such as Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica "and, surprisingly, the uniforms of the Empire officers in" Star Wars. "Are the Americans in space the bad guys?
The uniform, unveiled yesterday (Tuesday) is in a dark blue hue and was designed as a pantsuit or skirt suit, along with a jacket that features a row of silver stars sewn diagonally from the right shoulder to the chest.
The name pin is located on the left side of the uniform and the logo of the space force is located on the right side, with a raised collar protruding below the uniform.

Force officials expressed enthusiasm for the uniforms, designed for officers in the U.S. space arm, known as "Guardians," but described them as "modern, unique and professional," but the one-eyed surfers saw the final product as an embarrassing copy of a uniform starring a series of science fiction classics In space, and rushed to tweet about it on Twitter.
Thus, the blue collar and diagonal silver stars are reminiscent of those worn by the officers in the successful series "Battlestar Galactica" many claimed.
Other surfers noted that the Delta logo was suspiciously similar to a pin that was attached to the officers' uniform in Star Trek.

But the highlight is the repeated claim that the diagonal front of the uniform is a little too reminiscent of the uniform of the wicked and dark Galactic Empire in Star Wars.
The surfers were quick to compare the uniforms, and indeed there is a certain degree of resemblance.
Is the U.S. new space force meant to control the universe and destroy planets? Well, probably not, but there is certainly some degree of irony in the design.
By the way, the name chosen for the space force officers, the Guardians, is a little too reminiscent of the Marvel movie series "Guardians of the Galaxy".
In conclusion, even if it is a clear and intentional inspiration for the great classics of cinema in the field of space, in practice the image created is of a poor copy of producers who have spent their best years to create worlds on which millions have grown.
