In _Heads of Space_ a group of astronauts must save Earth from an asteroid hurdling towards the planet, a la the 1998 film _Armageddon_. Except in this show the astronauts are 2016 presidential candidates—Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and the [gone-but-not-forgotten Jeb Bush](http://time.com/4231020/jeb-bush-please-clap-saddest-moments-south-carolina/)—sent to space by President Obama as their last task in becoming leader of the free world. Episodes of _Heads of Space_ premiere on the Udesia YouTube channel, a venture Univision launched in December aimed at Spanish-speaking millennials. The show’s [companion website](http://especiales.univision.com/heads-of-space/) even includes a fictional newspaper, called the _End of Times_, which features sensationalist headlines from an alternate-future like “GOP Expected to Implode Before World Explodes.” This isn’t the first time this election cycle that a network has used hosting a presidential debate to plug a show: CNBC went straight into its show _Profit_ after a Republican debate broadcast in October. Watch the trailer for _Heads of Space_ above—no word if Bush will be removed from the show.
