I love that!

Why does a post industrial in debt banana republic need a space force? It’s all a joke.

Earthlings.

Their logo is VERY Star Trek, so I’ve been saying the service academy needs to be in San Francisco.

Will those who attend the academy be space cadets?

[TBP]

The “TEGWAR” of languages?

[MayflowerMadam]

“Space Rangers” sounds good.

[txnativegop]

It has evolved into that it seems.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Spacemen is OK, We had Dough-boys in WW I—maybe something link to Tang? Tangers? Rocketeers? We have jar-heads—Maybe Helmet heads? Astros or Cosmen?

“English sucks as a second language. I learn stupid rules every day.”

Given what I read on leftist sites it sucks as a first language too. Learning Russian is fun except for the 6 possible word endings.

[Thud]

Space Cadets!

[BubbaBasher]

Nobody’s mentioned “Spaceballs”?

That would only be for the men though.

[Thud]

I vote for “Rocketeers”.

Who knows? Maybe this ramp-up of UFO sightings and the USN admitting that it tangled with UAPs that did things that our current (READ: publicly known) tech couldn't reproduce or explain is a slow roll out or precursor to rolling out some bleeding-edge stuff to show the Russians, Chinese, Norks, Iranians, and several other antgonists that we're packing the hardware to bring to an alley fight. And believe me, if we want a wing of space fighters, the money is there. They always have a rainy day fund hidden somewhere in the budget. It's more of a matter of engineering and beta-testing the hell out of it to ensure reliability than it is going hat-in-hand to an appropriations committee on Capitol Hill and rattling a tin cup. I was a lowly security supervisor at the Five-Sided Rathole for a few years, and they have their own ways of making things work.

Reminds me of a story that appeared in science fiction magazine many years ago. The title came from a song featured in the story. "The Rocketeers Have Shaggy Ears."
