The United States Space Force can’t catch a break

an otherworldly 30-second spot summoning volunteers “to plan for the possible while it’s still impossible.”for Steve Carell’s much-awaited Netflix series “Space Force,” which came out just hours earlier .In a country stuck at home watching TV, starved for new content, the absurd comedy is one of the more exciting cultural events of the season, a “The Office”-style lampooning stuffed with big names—Carell, Lisa Kudrow, John Malkovich, Jane Lynch, Noah Emmerich and Jimmy O.

On the show, the tension is epitomized by the president’s tweet that he wants “boots on the moon by 2024.” and military types hellbent on making space a new battlefield—in this case, preparing for a shooting war on the moon. There’s the moon-like camouflage of the Space Force’s uniforms. And there’s the “Space Flag” war game in which troops test out competing spacesuits for crater warfare.

The president wants his entrepreneur crony to get contracts even though her technology is unproven. He makes reckless demands for quicker results in the race against the Chinese to dominate the moon. He is also obsessed with what the new branch’s uniforms should look like, empowering the first lady to oversee the designs, conscripting Naird’s headquarters staff into service as runway models.

In Naird’s alternate world, the battle is still raging against his nemesis, the Air Force chief of staff, who constantly picks on him and his new service and plots ways to get the mission and its budget back. Members of Congress are portrayed as wanting to know why Space Force exists; they express sticker shock at its sprawling Colorado headquarters and pet programs. On the show, a prominent liberal lawmaker grills Naird on how its massive budget will help her constituents who are on food stamps. Further feeding the perception is a hawkish congressman who is eager to give the new branch whatever it desires.

Хм,я задумалась

I'm all for parody, however when it's meant to undermine something championed by someone one hates, it's nothing but propaganda....

If HouseofCards taught the NetflixGeneration to believe in ClintonConspiracies - This new SpaceForceDoD parody will make an even larger audience believe that there is something to this hoax, again helping Trump being elected. Never underestimate the power of misconception.

GiaJudge I'd like to nominate RealPDeLuise & Michael DeLuise for a cameo.

Space Force or Major Tom gets a promotion. Ground Control to Major Tom Ground Control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

BryanDBender I love the office and Steve Carell but if this show turns into a trump bashing show It will fail miserably. Just make our country laugh, don't get political.

LOL. The Supreme Space Commander, aka Wallmaster, the Duck from the WH, has nothing but vacuum in his head.

SethAbramson I wonder if Netflix could get the rights to the old Space Force with Fred Willard.

SethAbramson

SethAbramson I can’t wait to watch this series.

SethAbramson Think of how much good could be done with the millions of $ being spent on this wasteful org. Think of how many ventilators, personal protection equipment and grants to research could be bought and given. Talk about CorruptGOP wasteful spending when we are $24 trillion in debt.

The United States Space Force👍👍

SethAbramson Who is they “They want to take GPS, they want to take communications, they want to take missile warning, they want to take all of that stuff away from us.”

SethAbramson This didn't have to be political but trump is such an ass, it couldn't be anything butt

SethAbramson And they don't deserve one.

SethAbramson I figured the Space Force would be more like those badass marine type cats from Aliens.

SethAbramson I can't wait for the show. Finally something trump thinks of turns out to be successful. Shame it's a parody of his stupid fucking idea, he totally needed something to brag about on Twitter.

SethAbramson Maybe because what started as a stupid distraction got out of control?

Up here in this tin can all my Space Force Troopers have is each other. The Cov can't reach us in space but Hollywood's portrayals do. When the space alien lizards arrive you will all regret your denigration of my Force Troopers! MAGA CloserToGod

SethAbramson Finally, the truth about space force

Хоть здесь говорят правду

Somebody Tik Tok'd some real UFO's on the moon a month ago. We'll be no match, whatsoever.

Gotta laugh through the pain of the ignorant

Let's hear it for the branch of the service created by a cowardly enlistment dodger. He prefers to verbaly attack women than to go a real war with men.

Which is going to be funnier pentagon or netflix version. Oh never mind nothings csn be funny about the money trumpsters will siphon off the pentagon in the name of the impossible TrumpGate
