The Space Force Just Unveiled Its “Official Song”

Does it not sound very similar to the soviet national anthem? Or do all anthems sound like that, I guess I haven't heard too many.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. A "space force" having a "official song" sounds like a joke, but everything I come across about this seems to tell the story like it is not a joke. Am I missing some heavily layered comedy here?

I keep thinking about the Republican Space Rangers TV show from GTAV every time the Space Force is mentioned. So I can't take them seriously anyway.

They're a branch of the military, and every other branch has a theme song, so I guess they get to have one, too. I'd have picked the theme from Starship Troopers, but I wasn't given a vote for probably that reason.

The core problem is that Sousa is not still alive, and so he can't write the Spaceforce March
