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.

    At least it's better than a shuttle running Windows.

      They'll need serious physical training, I hear those trim jackscrews are pretty hard to operate manually.

    It could be worse than that: What if it's running Systemd?
