Tardigrade selected as Space Force mascot

THE PENTAGRAM — During a Friday press conference, Gen. John W. "Jay" Raymond announced the selection of the Tardigrade as the official Space Force mascot.

"Much like the Marine Corps has the bulldog, the Navy a goat, and the Air Force the Blue Falcon, we felt some type of animal would the best selection." Gen. Raymond said during the presser. "The selection committee, made up of myself and my secretary did an exhaustive search. We're very happy with this choice."

"The Tardigrade can survive extreme environments. It can withstand the frigid Antarctic, volcanic heat and even the vacuum of space." Gen. Raymond continued, "It was really a no-brainer. We really didn't put much time into it."
