U.S. Space Force budget hits $30 billion in 2024 proposal - Space News

https://spacenews.com/u-s-space-force-budget-hits-30-billion-in-2024-funding-proposal

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 :marseyastronaut2:

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.
