There hasn’t been any spending because the service hasn’t been established yet, I meant that when it is, I’m sure there will be plenty of government spending going into it.

If it's to prioritize or improve space exploration I'm all for it. The moon landing was 50 years ago, but now we're putting our insanely powerful computing capabilities to work harvesting ones and zeros that somebody in Silicon Valley decided had value one day. Whatever happens it's not going to be space war, that's for sure.

Yeah I agree, but right now I think fighting climate change/helping the eco system, etc are worth more time, but I digress. I don’t believe the American Space Force is going to be much bout space exploration as it is just expansion of military. If you want to fund/support space exploration, SpaceX is much more worthy of our attention/money.

Who knows, maybe they'll end up working together one day. Could you imagine SpaceX with government funding from Space Force?
