spiderplanetThe Netflix Series "SpaceForce" was possibly supposed to be a better series. When it starts to get good, it devolves into propaganda.
Here's a fun fact - India has a better space program than the US. They did it on their own, and didn't steal any technology from SpaceForce, despite what the TV series might lead a person to believe. AS IF!
Also, the real life military branch "SpaceForce" has yet to decide what their trainees are to be called. They will (probably) not be called "Spacemen" or "Space Cadets." In the series, that part is inaccurate, but it has comedic value.
Also, also, in real life Netflix owns the trademark for the name "Space Force" because the US Government forgot to do it.
But the thing about India is important because it's nonsense propaganda. The other two are just fun facts.
