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.
