I always thought that it was weird that sci fi always depicted space navies, not fleets or whatever the Air Force term would be. To me, going into space made far more sense for the Air Force than the Navy until I realized that the Air Force rarely stays airborne for longer than they can with one tank of fuel. How many months do Sailors spend on a ship or submarine?

I think that a Space Force, or whatever we would actually call it, would require Airmen and Sailors.

Then again, the Navy has pilots, too.
