In your leggy airbreather world you have spacetronauts and astrowomen or whatever. Leggy airbreathers who go into space and land on the moon, or fly to the International Space Station and do experiments. Under the sea we have terranauts (“terra” means “land”) and send rockets up to land so we can explore and stuff.

Every infant born can be considered a "terranaut" automatically receiving such a commission as a human birthright. His exploits in space will rival those of the astronauts in comparative complexity. In his exploration of terrestrial space each child will conquer the spatial mysteries of climbing stairs, running uphill, pedaling a bicycle, […]
