Cape Canaveral bases redesignated for Space Force, but in name only (for now) [i]One of the United States' first space launch sites now bears the name of the nation's newest military branch, though for now, it is an association in name only. Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Patrick Air Force Base in Florida were redesignated Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Patrick Space Force Base on Wednesday (Dec. 9). "Today we make history with the first two installations in the history of the United States Space Force to bear the name of this new branch of the service," said Vice President Mike Pence prior to unveiling updated signs displaying the new names. "It is a great day for our military, it is a great day for Florida and it is a great day for America."[/i]
