Preferably not exceeding 100%.

Not a secret anymore.

And someone left the hatch open, now they can see what we have stashed in there.

Imagine what someone could see with a “real” telescope (Like the kind funded by a government).

I limit the width by formatting the width to a specific width:

I do it this way because it offers more control.

In case you were wondering here is what it looks like...:)

Funny. The first time I saw that movie, I didn’t make it all the way through it. Didn’t care for it.

I watched it again recently, and kind of liked it...:)

Heh, I can’t decide if it is a good movie or a really bad one, but I enjoyed it!

Good reference...

We already have a hymn for the Space Force, or parts of it. It just has to be finished.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Hills_of_Earth

— The arching sky is calling / Spacemen back to their trade. / All hands! Stand by! Free falling! / And the lights below us fade. / Out ride the sons of Terra, / Far drives the thundering jet, / Up leaps the race of Earthmen / Out, far, and onward yet —

We pray for one last landing/ On the globe that gave us birth/ Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies/ And the cool, green hills of Earth.

Thanks fieldmarshaldj.

What traditions the US Space Force will adopt? Most Sci-Fi space fleets follow a naval tradition, for example Star Trek and Star Wars. Although the earth space force from the Stargate franchise appears to follow more the Air Force model.
