Stargate and other scifi not withstanding I think it highly unlikely that once we start exploring and working in space on a regular basis it will be handled by any of the terrestrial service branches. Most of it will be handled by NASA, and other research organizations, or by private sector corporations. If for some reason a dedicated military presence becomes neccesay in space, it will likely be an entirely new military branch. Just like the Air Force was originally a branch of the Army until it got large enough, at some point a new service would be formed.
