Bluesky peeps for democracy, we may not recognize our political system/government when this is over. Out of the ashes, what do we rebuild? What does our next political system/parties or fed government look like? Add your ideas. The sky is the limit. Dream big! #America2.0

Do you ever think about how in sci fi, space forces often have navy ranks and traditions, but in real life it’s always army because they come from air forces? What do you think happened in the history of all these fictional space forces that made them turn into space navies?
