Characters who attempt not to screw everything up include Space Force pilot Angela Ali (Tawny Newsome) and Mallory’s head scientist Dr. Chan Kaifang (Jimmy O. Yang).
Steve Carrell plays Space Force’s gravelly voiced Mark Naird, a four-star Air Force General who uproots his family after being tasked to head up the newly developed moon-minded branch.
At work, Naird reckons with the highly pent-up genius Dr. Adrian Mallory (played the the), the mostly useless assistant Brad (Don Lake), the hyper-aggro rival Kick Grabaston (Noah Emmerich), the disastrous media manager F. Tony Scarapiducci (Ben Schwartz) and more.
A hard-nosed military lifer, the constantly put-upon Naird can’t properly balance his farcically stressful job duties with his unwisely rebellious daughter Erin (Diana Silvers) and his wife Maggie (Lisa Kudrow), who has her own issues to attend to.
