Payload 🚀(@payloadspace):The Space Force’s FY27 budget request made headlines earlier this year at a record-breaking $71.3B. But the topline reflects a shift underway across the whole Pentagon, one the Space Force illustrates more sharply than any other service. Two new breakdowns, one from @AerospaceCorp's Center for Space Policy and Strategy and one from the @AEI, reach overlapping conclusions from different angles. Payload reporter @vicky_woodburn takes to Polaris with a deep dive on what the budget could mean for the rest of the space industry. Link below.
