You think that's confusing... Starfleet was originally UESPA, the United Earth Space Probe Agency. And there have been some very laudable, but still very poor, attempts to reconcile that... especially in Enterprise... but it just makes no sense based on the rest of Star Trek.
@FlyingSquid @Jaccident
If you look at it through the lens of “it was just people writing a script and having no idea it would become a much-scrutinized cultural icon”…. It makes enough sense.
@FlyingSquid @startrek
UESPA was a decent of JPL and Star Fleet was a decent of NASA?
Some intercooperation was bound to happen though 🙂
Maybe, but it shouldn't still exist by the time of Charlie X.
