US Space Force debuts first recruitment ad and previously secret spacecraft:

"Maybe your purpose on this planet isn't on this planet."

That is the tagline accompanying the US Space Force's recruiting ad that appeared on Twitter on Wednesday.

The 30-second commercial is a montage of young people looking to the stars, intercut with images of rockets rising from monolith-like hangars, all colour graded the familiar teal and orange of blockbuster action movies.

[...] In addition to the expected military recruitment fare included in the video [...] the ad also includes the first official glimpse of the X37-B reusable space vehicle.

    Someone once said: "Don't died for your country, make the other bastard die for his". That's your cue Space Heros. Trump is re-opening the economy to where it belongs under the Trump banner. All stops out! Don't expect a pay rise, or a tax cut, or an interest rate reduction - there's nothing left in that bucket ha! - just roll up your sleeves and wrap them around your faces - and think about the poor Americans who'll do it if you won't. Bless them! Onward, upward, backward.
