“Homo Spaciens,” “Orbitons,” “Novanauts,” “Rocketeers,” and “Startans” — this is just a small sampling of the hundreds of suggested names for members of the military’s newest branch, the Space Force.
They were, of course, rejected in favor of “Guardians,” a name that folks seem to have gotten used to after it was roundly mocked for its similarities to the well-known Marvel Comics franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy. On that note, among the list of passed-over names was “Starlord” which is the main character in that comic book series, who’s played by actor Chris Pratt in the movies.

Humans. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of emails that say “I hope you’re doing well in these trying times,” (although I may, cough, be guilty of sending 1 or 70 of ‘em). I’m tired of conversations (mine included) that default to politics, protests, posturing.
