Air Force: Trump’s Space Force Would Cost $13-Billion Over 5 Years
(Undated) — The Air Force says it would cost nearly 13-billion dollars to get President Trump’s Space Force off the ground. That’s the headline item in a memo signed by Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson. In addition to spending 13-billion dollars over five years, creating the new branch of the military would require a sweeping reorganization of parts of the Pentagon and intelligence community. The memo offers the first official estimate of out-of-the-gate costs of building a sixth branch of the military with a focus on fighting in outer space.
