I dunno. I'm rather fond of Thing 1 and Thing 2.

They got rid of of the airman....
"SPE-CI-MEN".I was kinda looking forward to “spaceman”
Space cadets was ruled out in favor of guardians of the galaxy (I kid you not).
Sadly, Space Force is passing on the opportunity to get rid of 2000 years of useless military baggage. They've got "file closers" (sergeants) whose original jobs were to plug in replacements for men that fell (and kill any that ran). They're undoubtedly going to teach the Guardians to march, so the King's representatives can count them going by and verify that their commanders have as many men as they're collecting pay for. They'll have to cut their hair short so that lice in the trenches can be reduced. They're ALREADY wearing uniforms that are great for hiding in forests, but of no advantage to anyone controlling a satellite.
Sigh.

Dunno, Sac. Almost every person in the ground control centers for Apollo and the Space Shuttle was a civilian. Yet there didn't seem to be problems with discipline, rank structure, or fitness. SpaceX doesn't seem to have a problem, either....and I bet there's at least one person in a wheelchair in their op center.I guess that is one way of looking at it. But, one has to question if 2000 years of military baggage is actually useless. If it were, it wouldn't have lasted 2000 years. Discipline, rank structure and fitness is useful in controlling military satellites...
