This Space Force Birthday Cake Is Bleak And Empty, Much Like Space Itself

Task & Purpose:

The newest branch of the American military just celebrated its second birthday with what may very well be the saddest cake in the history of warfare.

The cake in question was photographed at the U.S. Space Force’s congressional birthday event on Dec. 2. This no-frills pastry featured the Space Force’s seal – the Pentagon’s homage to the “Star Trek” universe – along with the words “Happy Birthday.”

Typically, military services feature an elaborate cake cutting ceremony as part of their birthday celebrations as a shoutout to their traditions and esprit de corps. As the youngest military branch, the Space Force is at somewhat of a disadvantage since its traditions date back to that seminal year of 2019.
