The Real Space Force
The Bible says that saved humanity will make known the wisdom of God "among the celestials". Jesus left this Earth to go back among the celestials almost two thousand years ago, not in a spacecraft made by human hands, but in an immortal spiritual body designed by God His Father. He is going to return at our Father's appointed time to transform redeemed humanity into a celestial Space Force .
"He was taken up, and a cloud did receive Him up from their sight; and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in His going, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, `Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall come again just like you saw Him going to the heaven." (Acts 1:9-11)
Jesus has gone to prepare a new place for humanity who He redeemed with His blood shed on the cross.
"Let not your heart be disturbed. Believe in God, and believe in Me." In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if not I would have told you, I am going to make ready a place for you. And since I am going to make ready a place for you, I will come again and I will be taking you along to Myself, that where I am, you also may be." (John 14:1-3)
When Jesus returns those who died watching for His return, and those then watching for Him will rise together into the clouds to meet Him - a celestial Space Force!
"...keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come." (Matthew 24:42)
"...for the Lord Himself will be descending from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the Chief Messenger, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall be rising first, then we, the living who are surviving, shall at the same time be snatched away together with them in clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And then we shall always be together with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
This Spiritual Space Force was a secret until revealed to our Apostle Paul...
"Lo! a secret to you am I telling! We all, indeed, shall not be put to repose, yet we all shall be changed, in an instant, in the twinkle of an eye, at the last trump. For He will be trumpeting, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." Now, whenever this corruptible should be putting on incorruption and this mortal should be putting on immortality, then shall come to pass the word which is written, Swallowed up was Death by Victory." (1 Corinthians 15:51-54)
Humans like Elon Musk dream of exploring space, and build spacecrafts to reach out into a very small portion of the celestial regions of the Universe. That is exciting to watch on TV, but I prefer to wait until my new body becomes an immortal spiritual spacecraft which can roam the celestial regions of the Universe without a spacecraft made by mortals!
"For our realm is inherent in the heavens, out of which we are awaiting a Savior also, the Lord, Jesus Christ, Who will transfigure the body of our humilation, to conform it to the body of His glory, in accord with the operation which enables Him even to subject all to Himself." (Philippians 3:20-21)
Yep, if we can trust the Bible, we are to become the Spiritual Space Force of God. Traveling among the celestials is our future destiny - so says the God of the Bible!
