NASA "Force?" It sounds very similar to Space Force and Air Force and adds a militaristic tone to NASA. Maybe that is the intent. I know that NASA and the military are closely linked but the general brand of NASA is a the science-focused civilian side while something like Space Force would be the military side.

It is a word with multiple meanings. One such meaning is "a group of people brought together and organized for a particular activity."
Or perhaps "to compel someone to act against their will or to break through resistance."

But knowing this administration, "an energy field created by all living things that surrounds, penetrates, and binds the galaxy together."

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this administration thinks it sounds more manly.
