The first Space Force officer to be launched into space came back to Earth on Tuesday evening after six months aboard the International Space Station, returning alongside two astronauts who had stayed aboard the laboratory significantly longer than anticipated.
Col. Nick Hague, an active-duty Space Force Guardian and astronaut, launched in late September from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. As the commander of NASA's SpaceX Crew-9 mission, he traveled 72,553,920 miles, spent 171 days in space, and completed 2,736 orbits, according to information from his service branch.

So now they can say they actually are a "space" force, even if only for a few hours.

From What I Understand From Viewing The History Channel, While They Were Interviewing One Of The Astronaut's, Buzz Aldrin (?) Stated Every One Of Them Had Seen UFO's; While Most Just Followed From A Distance, Another Pulled Up Beside The Shuttle. ~ But Reporting Them Wasn't The Best Advice At The Time.. .Now THAT Would Have Rattled My Chains, But I Still Think "That's Pretty Cool"!

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen -
I THOUGHT They Recognized You. And, If I'm Not Wrong,
This Is What You Showed Up When You Were Taking The Ride
And YOU Had A Window-Seat.
