- TriviaNetflix trademarked the name "Space Force" during production in early 2019. In December 2019, President Trump renamed the existing "Air Force Space Command" branch to simply "Space Force", and wanted to trademark the name, but found it couldn't because Netflix had done so first.
- GoofsWild Horse is in eastern Colorado, over two hours from NORAD, and extremely flat, more like Kansas. There are no mountains visible. The "town" is actually about half a dozen homes and a post office, no businesses at all.

Featured review
There are lots of subtle (and not so subtle) stabs at American politics. This series basically is one big parody on Tr*mp's former Space War plans. Tr8mp supporters might not like this Season 1.
The good: an original, slowburning comedy with terrific actors and especially John Malkovich is brilliant in his role as a peace loving scientist, who works for the newly created American military Space Force.
There is 1 problem though with this Space Force, they are going WAY over budget and they have nothing to show for it. Lots of nifty lies and fake news (that are hilarious) are being spread to make the new Space Force look extremely important though...
Quite funny...but it is not a laugh out loud kind of funny. The subtle (some less subtle) jokes elicit more smirky kind of laughs, because lots of people (American politicians, American military) constantly get made fun of through parody.
Any bad? It's first most a subtle parody and not a laugh out loud comedy. I liked this parody, but some will expect many simple jokes like in The Office. They will be disappointed though...
ADDITIONAL note posted in 2022: Season 2 is fortunately also really enjoyable to watch. And it has got a few more laugh out loud moments, compared to the more subtle humor from Season 1. Although I personally am more a fan of the more subtle humor from Season 1...
