Yeah it would be dope to have one. I'm kinda upset that I feel like I was born just decade or so too early to really have the ability to join something like that. If a space force was around when I was young, I would be giving serious thought to trying to join. It's literally one thing I always think about. I think its a reason why I'm so drawn to wanting to make sci fi games and why Mass Effect is one of my favorite franchises. Literally playing my own fantasy of traveling into space.I guess it really depends on how many people we need in space. It'd be pretty easy for the Space Force to just have everything automated and maybe only need a handful of their own astronauts. Or we could get full on cislunar 1,000 going on and need lots of people up there.
My only hope is we find a way to stop aging dramatically and I can live long enough and still be young enough to join after living a life doing what I'm doing now. lol
Also in related news, a big person in the military (forgot who) was talking about how incredible BFR could be for them. The military would love to set up giant warehouses in space that could resupply anywhere on Earth in a moments notice. They'd also love to use BFR Earth to Earth to transport stuff. Imagine loading up a BFR with a couple tanks and then launching it to a base on the other side of the world within 60 minutes. It'd be cost competitive with flying tanks by plane yet allow for rapid deployment.
Originally most people dismissed BFR E2E for military use since it'd be so easy to shoot down, but it seems like it'd be a game changer even when landing at established military bases.
