Recently there’s been talk in the news of adding the “Space Force,” a new branch of the United States armed forces which would be dedicated to dealing with space stuff.

It may sound like an April Fools’ Day joke, but a new comedy series titled Space Force is on its way to Netflix from Steve Carell and Greg Daniels which revolves around the people who are tasked with creating this new military organization.

More information on Space Force and a brief announcement video for the show can be found below.
