First header[edit]
I've got to tell you, I find the translation "U.N. Spacy" to be...well, "spacey", if you know what I mean.
Well, what would a "space navy" be other than a "spacy." It seems to me that terms like "spacy," and "spaceman" (instead of seaman) sound odd to us because of the very fact they are science-fiction. Perhaps in the future, if/when space travel is far more widely spread, these terms will be seen as normal and everyday.
--- Shouldn't "spacy" (lit. "space forces") be a portmanteau (or just a blend) of "space" and "navy"? What has "army"/rikugun got to do with it? -- creamyhorror, June 08 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.197.41 (talk) 18:46, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Knowing how Japanese anime sometimes slurs English words (i.e. labeling panels with "DANGAR" instead of "DANGER"), what sounds closer to U.N. SPACY? Is it "United Nations SPACe navY", or "United Nations SPAce agenCY"
Shocked and surprised[edit]
