While that is an amount of money I genuinely can not fathom, it somehow seems like a drop in the bucket for the budget of something called US Space Force

It’s a lot of money. Season one was pretty dumb but somewhat funny. Netflix should be able to do something amazing with 26B

Keep in mind that a lot of the Space Force was consolidated from stuff the Navy and Air Force was already doing. They just took those jobs and placed them under the purview of the newly created Space Force

The Space Force has it's own new initiatives too, but a good chunk of that money was already allocated to projects that were already budgeted for but being operated by the other branches
