(IsraelNN.com) The Israeli Air Force has announced that it from now on it will be known as the Israeli Air and Space Force. The decision to take the Israeli space agency under the Air Force's wing was approved over a month ago by exiting Air Force head General Dan Halutz.
The name change coincides with the first anniversary of Israeli Astronaut and former Air Force pilot Colonel Ilan Ramon's ill fated Columbia space shuttle mission.

Jews in spaaaaace!!!
Shalom,
