That's because the gravity on the planet was less than 1G - and not as much atmosphere. Chortle, chortle.
Come oooonnnn... where's your suspended disbelief. At least Kirk didn't give some SJW BS like jazz hands or something. As far as I know, in any part of the civilized galaxy, any form of jazz hands entitles you to summary execution.
As for the symbol... I think it's nice. Why spend who knows how much money trying to advertise a new symbol when Star Trek has already laid the groundwork for a symbol that is instantly recognizable. Hat's off to Trump and the people he put in charge of this - he's actually saving the tax payer millions of dollars by not re-inventing the wheel. Winning.

Certainly looks like this is the way it's going.
The confirmation hearing for John Ratcliff was rather interesting. It was stated that what was wanted of him was that the intelligence agencies get back to their origins on the technology front, of basically incubating cutting edge ideas and then releasing them to the public.
I hope Q team let this economic shutdown happen, because in the long run it's prepared us all for some extreme economic changes.

Symbols can have multiple meanings, but let's at least do a proper search before spewing "decodes." Start with the source. What do they say it is? Go to spaceforce (dot) mil. Go to their About Us tab, select Fact Sheet. It describes the use of the chevron, which they call the "Delta Wing" in the seal and flag. It is an hommage to the early post-war aviators and their various missions and agencies within the Air Force.
A report posted on military (dot) com by Oriana Pawlyk titled "Official Space Force Flag Unveiled at the White House" (May 15, 2020) reports that the symbol first appeared in 1942 in the US Army Air Force and has been used extensively by the Air Force and NASA mission logos since. It symbolizes change and innovation.
Now if we want to know where Star Trek got it, we need to go to a fan site. Writing for startrek (dot) com, John Cooley published a piece called "Starfleet Insignia Explained" (Oct 7, 2018). In it, it explains that Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry derived it from the NASA logo. For true fans, you can follow the rabbit hole down Star Trek cannon which describes how NASA eventually evolved into Starfleet in the sci-fi universe.
Before we get into any conspiracy theories or "decodes", it's critical to understand what the official meaning of the symbol. It seems clear that it is intended to convey speed, change, innovation, and a forward-looking posture, which is a perfect symbol for the boyish sense of adventure and discovery that flight and the exploration of space engender. It is likely that the simple universally understood message of this symbol is what has made it so appealing to so many groups with a similar mission. They share the same goals and aspirations, and none of that is nefarious.
If you want to decode something, figure out what those constellations are.

It's so you know that space is some Mickey mouse Hollywood shit.
Earth might not be flat, but space is still a lie.
Not what we think
