Trump Make America Great Again Committee by [Gina Martinez](https://time.com/author/gina-martinez/) ## Gina Martinez Aug 9, 2018 9:38 PM UTC President Donald Trump is already campaigning on his proposed new Space Force. Hours after Vice President Mike Pence [outlined the Administration plans to create the Space Force](http://time.com/5363132/space-force-mike-pence-plan/) – a proposed sixth military branch focused on space security- the Trump campaign sent out a mass email asking supporters to vote for a logo for the Space Force. “President Trump wants a SPACE FORCE- a ground breaking endeavor for the future of America and the final frontier,” the email, signed by Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale, said. “As a way to celebrate President Trump’s huge announcement, our campaign will be selling a new line of gear. But first we have to make a final decision on the design we will use to commemorate President Trump’s new Space Force- and he wants YOU to have a say” All of the proposed logos feature the phrase “Space Force” with one logo that also includes the words “Mars Awaits.” Trump first announced plans to create a new branch of the U.S military service he dubbed the Space Force in June. During a Brookings Institution Panel last month, Deborah Lee James, a former Secretary of the Air Force in the Obama Administration, said the military’s top brass [doesn’t support President Donald Trump’s plan to create a Space Force. ](http://time.com/5352947/air-force-secretary-nobody-supports-space-force/) The Space Force would be the first new military branch since the Air Force was created in 1947 and would be meant to be equal to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Vice President Pence said the Space Force would take over already existing space operations and transferring employees. Vice President Pence said the Administration would want the branch up and running by 2020\. But, it faces one big obstacle – the Space Force would need approval from Congress before it could become a new military branch. “Now the time has come to write the next great chapter in the history of our armed forces, to prepare for the next battlefield where America’s best and bravest will be called to deter and defeat a new generation of threats to our people and to our nation,” [Pence said](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-vice-president-pence-future-u-s-military-space/). “The time has come to establish the United States Space Force.” President Trump tweeted his support shortly after the announcement, “Space Force all the way!” > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1027586174448218113) ## Transcript As Commander in Chief, President Trump's highest priority is the safety and security of the American people. And while too often, previous administrations, all that neglected the growing security threats emerging in space, President Trump stated clearly and forcefully. That space is in his words, a war fighting domain just like land and air and sea. And just as we have done in ages past, the United States of America under his leadership will meet the emerging threats on this new battle field with American inginuity and strength To defend our nation. Protect our people. And carry the cause of liberty and peace into the next great American frontier. Now the time has come to write the next great chapter in history of our Armed Forces. To prepare for the next battle field. Where America's best and bravest will be called to deter and defeat a new generation of threats to our people, to our nation. The time has come to establish the United States Space Force. And that's what brings us here today. To be clear, the space force will not be built from scratch Because the men and women who run and protect our nation's space programs today are already the best in the world. Since the dawn of the space age America has remained the best in space. [ APPLAUSE ] As President Trump has said in his words it is not enough To merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space. [ APPLAUSE ] And so we will. [ APPLAUSE ] What was once peaceful and uncontested is now crowded In adversarial. Today, other nations are seeking to disrupt our Space- based systems and challenge American supremacy in Space as never before. For many years, nations from Russia, China to North Korea and Iran have pursued weapons to jam, blind and disable our navigation. And communication satellites via electronic attacks from the ground. But recently, our adversaries have been working to bring new weapons of war into space itself. Our adversaries have transformed space into a war fighting domain already. In the United State will not shrink from this challenge. [ APPLAUSE ] Under president Trump leadership will meet head on to defend our nation. And build a peaceful future here on Earth and in space. America will always seek peace in space, as on the Earth. But history proves that peace only comes through strength. And in the realm of outer space, the United States Space Force We'll be that strength in the years ahead. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5363058/donald-trump-campaign-space-force-logo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5363058/donald-trump-campaign-space-force-logo/"},"headline":"President Trump's Campaign Is Asking Supporters to Vote on a Space Force Logo","datePublished":"2018-08-09T21:38:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:53:14.077Z","description":"The proposed Space Force still needs approval from Congress","url":"https://time.com/5363058/donald-trump-campaign-space-force-logo/","keywords":["Donald Trump","Military","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0867aaa320505efc/6989377397cdff914f6b5f36/trump-space-force-logos-email.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Gina Martinez","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/gina-martinez/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0867aaa320505efc/6989377397cdff914f6b5f36/trump-space-force-logos-email.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"trump-space-force-logos-email","caption":"Trump Space Force logos","creditText":"Trump Make America Great Again Committee","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5363058/donald-trump-campaign-space-force-logo/","name":"President Trump's Campaign Is Asking Supporters to Vote on a Space Force Logo"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Trump Administration Outlines 'Space Force' Plan","description":"The Trump Administration outlined a plan to make a “Space Force” the sixth branch of the U.S. military Thursday, but there are still significant hurdles before it could become a reality.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/tmxUVpx1/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-08-09T20:55:34.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/tmxUVpx1.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5363058/donald-trump-campaign-space-force-logo/","duration":"PT3M24S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5363058/donald-trump-campaign-space-force-logo/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
