US unveils Space Force flag

Bloomberg

President Donald Trump unveiled the official flag for his Space Force at the White House, touting American military might including the development of what he called “the super-duper missile.”
Trump said the US is “building right now incredible military equipment,” including a missile that would travel faster than any other in the world “by a factor of almost three.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed his country has already developed and fielded a hypersonic nuclear missile ahead of the US. The Pentagon has been working on the technology.
Jonathan Rath Hoffman, a Pentagon spokesman, tweeted that “the Department of Defense is working on developing a range of hypersonic missiles to counter our adversaries.”
Last December, Trump signed into law a measure to create the Space Force, saying the US needed to expand its military presence in space. The Air Force previously oversaw offensive and defensive operations in space.
