It's a very good name to fantasize about while masturbating. It's a powerful name, one you can scream out when reaching orgasm, it will make you ejaculate at level #2:

I mean, I guess we have a branch of the military called "Air Force" which would probably sound just as ridiculous if we were not accustomed to it.

[CrocMeister]

no it sounds cool like scifi

On one hand, I like it because it sounds futuristic. On the other, I’d rather the name be something more creative and/or over the top.

Vacuum force haha. IMO, Space force sounds a little far-fetched until we know what kind of missions they will be doing next. For now, something like 'satelite & missile defense department' would have sufficed.

I have in order of increasing 'over the topness':

- Cislunar Force
- Spacecrew
- Interplanetary Army
- Orbiting Militia
- Sentinels of the Void
- Cosmic Scouts
- The Legion from Heaven
- The Big Bang Gang

I laughed about it yesterday and this is exactly what my boyfriend said to me and I was like. Oh. Yeah.

So I mean my answer to op is... kinda funny but FINE I guess it makes SENSE okokok gotta halt my laughter if you're gonna be all sensible and shit.

It's straight and to the point. Martial types hate with a passion those who try to overcomplicate things. As you'd want said martial types to sign up you'd best adhere to the KISS doctrine. Keep it Simple Stupid. Thus, good name.
