In all seriousness, I wanted "Spacer." Maybe "Astron."

Please understand, I am a former Army infantry officer who learned to fly satellites. As a slimy Beltway Bandit, the space arms race is my business. This stuff is deadly serious to me.

On this past Wednesday morning, the Russians conducted a live fire test of their new direct-ascent anti-satellite missile. We need to get our stuff together fast.

I agree with you. It is serious. Satellites are our Achille’s Heel.

“Astromen” or “astros” might be a good name. It would match “astrogation”, the space equivalent to navigation. Another idea might be “Watchmen” or “watchers”, though for some that might not jive right with Genesis.
