Following its official creation this past December, the Space Force is looking for ideas on what the members of the newest branch of the U.S. military should be called.
"The U.S. Space Force is looking for feedback from U.S. military space professionals on what Space Force members should be called – similar to how the Air Force refers to its members as ‘Airmen’ or the Army refers to its members as ‘Soldiers,’" the Space Force wrote in a statement on its website.
It continued: "Given the significance a name has to the identity and culture of an organization, the Space Force is taking a deliberate approach to ensure Space Force member titles and ranks appropriately convey the nature of the newest Armed Forces branch and the domain in which it operates.”
Earlier this month, Lt. Gen. David Thompson, vice commander of the Space Force, said they won't be referred to as "spacemen."
In addition to what it calls its members, the Space Force is also asking for ideas on ranks and names for operational units, the military branch added.

Trekkers.
Nothing wrong with recognizing the contributions of Star Trek and Gene Roddenberry, who did so much to promote the future of space.

Depends on what planetary body they operate around.
Sailor Moon and Sailor Earth initially.

"Off world military personnel."
I was thinking along similar lines, but with Orbital. OMPs.

I thought everyone (in the military) was a soldier, and then there were more specific kinds of soldiers — e.g., Marines, airmen, seamen, etc.
English sucks as a second language. I learn stupid rules every day.
