This is not a joke, this is an actual branch of their military.

This should be alarming because it’s only a matter of time before they start fielding troops in space.

      Well, assuming we meet aliens, it would mean they are the space faring race who is visiting us, since we are not space faring. This also means they are a more advanced race than us, which hopefully implies they’ve evolved beyond capitalism lol.

        Well some of the writers (like Efremov) believed that advanced space faring was only possible under socialism/communism, so any meetings with aliens were bound to be those of camaraderie
