Well, that's some good news:
"...a top defense budget analyst has crunched the numbers and believes it may cost $550 million more per year for a Space Force - at most."

If you say "an extra $550 million" really fast, it sounds like budget dust doesn't it? LOL The real question I'd like for them to answer is: (1) how does adding a new HQ for administration improve the space program; and (2) what does it give us militarily that we don't get by adding it to the current configuration for space?

Susan Foster - Possibly. It appears, to me, that they are planning for the reliance, or need, for greater dealings with such a command in the future, and having the structure in place already, instead of starting out behind the 8-ball, so to speak.

Susan Foster - Same here. I mean, it looks like they're doing it right. Unfortunately, leadership changes every 4-8 years and a great plan takes a severe 180 (usually) and that great plan is thrown in the circular filing cabinet...

Even cheaper if solar panels and solar sails are used. Although it’d be really cool to potentially see a version of a ISD looming in the night sky. Haha

MAJ Ken Landgren Sir, I would think there would be synergy between all branches w/ their own space commands and cyops commands, with the end goal to be the encompassing branch for said commands - that is, that those commands then fall under its umbrella.
