Starfleet is a direct descendant of United Earth Space Force which is indirectly a descendant of previous militarized space programs like NASA/Roskosmos. I'm sure the Vulcans gave appropriate side eye when told their science officers got military ranks.
Sadly it was launched on the Space Nazi's rocket. ESA dropped co-operation with Roskosmos and ended use of Soyuz because of Russian invasion of Ukraine, but promotion of violent Far-Right, including Neo-Nazis, and racist conspiracy theories by Musk is ok for ESA.

Yet another unbelievably expensive push to prove that private capital is perfectly capable of achieving goals already achieved by NASA and Roskosmos in the 1960s.
...and that's orbital insertion. Congratulations to Roskosmos and NASA.
Roskosmos is one of the few parts of the USSR to have had good continuity, so things like that would be covered up still I'd say, given the income spaceflight would generate for Russia.
Def forgot Roskosmos and Soyuz. Oops
