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.

Reminds me of a science fiction story of many years back: "The Rocketeers Have Shaggy Ears." That was the title of a song in the story.

And if your wife wants to join, “To the Moon, Alice!” Careful now. AOC has video evidence of that bus driver threatening his wife with that phrase and she's been looking for him.

People who imagine English as their native language have exactly the same problem. I suspect some liberal freaks keep changing the rules.

“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.
