In your next life you could always try to get admitted to the Star Fleet Academy
Well something similar.

No doubt in my mind...some day in the future, we will not have NASA, Russian, Chinese a.s.o. We will have on Organization.

^ I agree, but without England i guess

Seriously, be it a hard contact with some asteroid or a debatable what was called a "contact of the third kind", mankind will sooner or later have to come to terms with itself, with one mankind and an existence without artificial nations. There is of course the other "branch", the possibility of fading awy and dying out.
Before WW1 there were not even borders in the sense mankind has it today, clearly not an achievement.

Actually with the creation of the US Space Force that could become an official rank!

Concerning Space Force, the general term is "Guardian".

E-1 through E-4 are referred to as Specialist (1,2, 3, 4)

After that it follows the Air Force rank names.



I hope they kill this before it gets out of control.

Nothing wrong with a Unified Command of US Space Command like we used to have.

Having a Space Force now is like proposing an Air Force in 1907, in my opinion.

All due respect to Mark Kelly but there ain't no air in space, so the Navy, Marines, heck even the Army, have just as much claim to novelty of military space duty as the Air Dales.

Funny. USN has a "Naval and Space Warfare command (aka SPAWAR) who are now called NAVWAR because of the new space cadet force.
