Pentagon requests $15.4B for Space Force

The Pentagon is proposing a $15.4 billion fiscal 2021 budget for the Space Force, the newly minted sixth branch of the military.

The money, largely transferred from existing Air Force programs, would include $2.5 billion for operations and maintenance, $10.3 billion for research and development, and $2.4 billion for procurement.

“Legally establishing the U.S. Space Force does not guarantee the United States preeminence in the space domain — the nation must commit sufficient and appropriate resources to properly accomplish its assigned responsibilities,” said the Pentagon’s budget overview, released Monday. “These investments will provide for freedom of operations in space, strengthen the mission assurance of capabilities to support U.S. and allied forces in all domains, as well as protecting these forces against potential adversaries’ space-enabled capabilities.”

More fucking boondoggles and MIC welfare. And Trump has the nerve to cut food stamps, medicaid and SS disability.

The people on food stamps, medicaid and SS disability, are not on Trump’s major donor list.
We are an arrogant species, believing our fantasy based "facts" are better than the other person's fake facts.

If you are wrong, it will be because you are not cynical enough.

Both major political parties are special interest groups enabling each other for power and money, at the expense of the people they no longer properly serve…

And the Generals still complain that China and Russia are ahead of us…

Space is not for militarization. Trump should be hauled up before the ICC and hung right next to *.

We should fund the Space Force only if Space Ghost shows up.

Is that all? Pish Posh. 15 billion will barely pay for the golf vacations.

  It’ll buy some cool new uniforms, research for designing medals, and really futuristic looking golf carts, too!

Bloomberg can pay for half of it out of pocket.

I think the first space travelers under this new boondoggle should be Trump, Pence, the entire current cabinet, and the R’s in Congress, the Senate, and on the Supreme Court. One way tickets to the sun for all.

Those camo uniforms ain’t cheap. Space shrubbery is hard to hide behind.

Why don’t Trump just build a space wall around the U.S.?
