Breakdown from the article for people who are lazy.
$19.2 billion for research, development, testing and engineering (RDT&E)
$4.7 billion for procurement
$4.9 billion for operations and maintenance
$1.2 billion for military personnel
It's a LOT of money, doubling the USSF budget from 2021. It's more than NASA's budget in the same year, and a good chunk of NASA's budget goes into aeronautical research. And two thirds of that massive number is going into R&D. That's a huge perk of the Air/Space force split, is that there's now an incredibly well funded US government branch exclusively funding new space tech, and then buying a lot of it too. That's going to dramatically increase the amount of new tech available to everyone as these same companies will reuse what they develop on other satellites.
A lot of that money is going into LEO satellites, and a lot of it into new launch vehicles. There's a huge focus on smaller spacecraft that can be built faster and sent up cheaper, and it looks like micro/picosat constellations are now definitely the way forward.
More funding means more actors in space means more spacecraft means more people involved means growing industry. We're all gonna make it

Imagine if we had a 1.6 trillion space budget.

Unironically if we find aliens that are not of plant origin (no microbes or animals coming from meteor debris of earth origin) I say just kill them and colonize the universe, would solve so much problems.

I've got a better idea: let's just start paying reparations to them indefinitely instead.

Honestly it's one of the best things Trump did. It's gonna be wild when they move the Space Force HQ to Huntsville. Gonna spend some of those billions on new facilities at the Redstone Arsenal.

Yeah, I know. I was so excited when he did it. I was pretty mad at Netflix for making that dumbass comedy immediately after he announced it, just to be partisan hacks. I hear techbros laughing about it all the time now and it pisses me off. It's looking like it's one of the biggest strategic moves of the next few decades, and it's already paying off. Can't wait to see what comes out of it

The argument always seems to come down to "uh well space force sounds stupid" but it's a really generic name and no more stupid than "United States Air Force". Plus the name itself is just about the least important part of the whole branch.

chinaβs is just called the strategic support force.

Kinda but not only space related so it's name is somewhat descriptive of it's role as support for the PLA.
They have gay naming like Rocket Force and Ground Force though which at that point they should Rename the Navy to Naval Force to keep the sterile theming.

You want it named "United States Space Navy"?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Cooler to just call it the navy when that time comes but an actual criticism is that every other part of the US military has a "unique" name but space force shares force with the air force.
And while all the mottos are pretty gay I think space force's motto is the worst.

It and killing that Iranian general are the only 2 things I say he did 1000% right. He was r-slurred 99% of the time but both of those I say were masterpieces.

He lucked out when the Iranians shot down their own jet. That took a lot of wind out of their sails that they would have otherwise used to stir up shit all over the ME with their proxies. Then COVID hit the world and locked Iran down for over a year.

I've been with a few women in my life and one thing I've noticed is that the female anus is incredibly close to the vagina, in fact they're barely an inch apart.
I'm not sure about other guys - but doesn't this disturb you? It feels like a design flaw in women actually -- like they're supposed to be so feminine and beautiful yet this ghastly little oversight is ruining everything.
Somehow it feels to me that women should be more aware of this flaw and it should affect their confidence. Whenever I see a so-called beautiful woman walking down the street so care-free thinking she's all that I just remember her anus is only 1 inch away from her kitty and laugh her into oblivion.
