The comedy series. It sounds like it will be terrible, and based on ignorant premises.

Later, we see a Space Force project literally blowing up before our eyes, a debacle which one character notes cost as much as “four middle schools.”
To be fair to the writers, that’s a successful NASA SLS mission.
No way is an SLS mission that inexpensive unless the middle schools are in Beverly Hills, the hallways are carpeted in mink, the bathroom fixtures are solid gold, and the desks are made out of platinum.
This will last about as long as That’s My Bush!, but not age nearly as well.
So, they have a military adviser, huh? “Meet our newest four-star general, formerly the number two man in the Air Force.” Meaning he was a three-star general, which means he was never the number two person in the Air Force or any of its commands. There are many, many four-stars throughout the military and any kind of military adviser should know that. A Hollywood writer, on the other hand…

This. Wikipedia research would reveal that major commands(MAJCOMs) are four star billets.
Speaking of TV series… Rand, have you seen “For All Mankind”?
Any of the readers?
I watched the series recently, very disappointing. Instead of a series about space it’s more of a socio-political drama that happens to be set in space occasionally.
I was actually pleased by “For All Mankind.” A reasonably accurate glimpse into What Could Have Been™ if Apollo had gone the other way. (Although the accuracy degrades a good bit in later episodes, when they’re building Jamestown Base.) Yes, there’s a lot of soap opera in it, but it’s a dramatic series, not a faux documentary. I’m looking forward to the second season.
