Or perhaps Florida annexed California (never mind that little piece of land separating the two).

Reuters reports:

Google Thinks They Invented Orion

The Germans beat them to it, 40 years ago:

If the colors are a bit funky, that’s because this is a re-colorized version of the 60’s black & white series, Raumpatrouille Orion, or Space Patrol Orion.  Here’s a b&w English language trailer of a movie based on the original TV series:
