Mark your calendars, as May 29th is the day that star-studded Space Force will debut on Netflix. Coming from the people who brought us the US version of The Office, the new sitcom will circle around General Mark Naird, played by Steve Carell, who is tasked with creating a Space Force from scratch. "It was always my dream to start something from the ground up," Carell's character General Naird says in the trailer. "But space is hard."

In the upcoming Netflix series, Steve Carell plays General Mark Naird, who is tasked to become the first Chief of Space Operations for the US. He may not be the most qualified man to do this, but he's got the spirit. The mission of the Space Force is to establish the sixth line of America’s armed forces, while General Mark Naird has the ambition to get a man on the moon once again.

While the series doesn't have an educational purpose, it sure taught some people one or two new things during the process. Apparently, the actress Lisa Kudrow had no idea that the Space Force was actually a real thing. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Lisa said: "I had no idea. I really did not know that the president said, 'Let’s have a Space Force.' I mean, I just can’t keep up, so I missed that one."
