FOR ALL MANKIND

So Ron Moore, the guy behind the Battlestar Galactica reboot from a few years back (and who also wrote a few damn good episodes of Deep Space Nine), made a new TV show where Hollywood's preferred victors in the Cold War, the Soviet Union, beats the USA to the Moon. This prompts Hollywood's favorite Democrat of yesteryear, Ted Kennedy, to not kill Mary Jo Kopechne and instead to kick off a political duel with Hollywood's favorite villain, Richard Nixon, over the future of the space program.

In so doing, we get treated to Hollywood's preferred take on Hollywood's most obnoxious issues, e.g. illegal immigration (we see a family cross the border at the same time Armstrong and Aldrin are on their way to the moon, muh symbolic) and the Equal Rights Amendment. The most hilarious upshot of all this is that the writers get their rocks off reminding everyone that Wernher Von Braun was a NAAAAAAAAAAAZI... but the people making this point are making it to sideline the now-peacenik Von Braun and establish, and I am not kidding here, a Space Force.

Oh, they don't call it that. But that's what they are. Congratulations, Hollylibs, you played yourselves.
