You’re most likely joking, just judging by the emote following NASA with your comment, but that had me wondering if you realized that NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is an independent agency, separately budgeted under the NASA Transition Authorization Act years ago.
This thread was about a different budget for a military purpose, and a new branch of the US Armed Forces, which would not include the National Reconnaissance Office, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or other non-military space agencies. Space Force is just a new management structure to govern military assets already in place for decades. They’re just not communicating as effectively as they could be with one another, so this places them together under a single umbrella. A metaphor I would use to describe it is like replacing metal wires with optical fiber for communications. An expensive upgrade, but powerfully more effective.

Today is the presentation of the official flag for the U.S. Space Force. Since the last time something like this happened was 72 years ago, when the USAF flag was presented, it’s an inspirational moment in military history, and just in time for Armed Forces Day tomorrow.
In less than 24 hours, the launch mission for United States Space Force-7 (an X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle carried by an Atlas V rocket) is scheduled to happen and is dedicated to our nation’s healthcare workers, first responders, and essential personnel as part of the "America Strong" campaign much like the other recent salutes by the USAF Thunderbirds and U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Wake up, Hasbro! The U.S. Space Force started five months ago, and still no announcements for G.I. Joe to recognize this branch of the Armed Forces. (Amazo Toys is creating a tongue in cheek action figure line for Space Force, so G.I. Joe could involve a more serious version if Hasbro ever decides to).

The United States Space Force (USSF) is the space warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces, which is a part of the Department of Defense (DOD) and is non-partisan. President Trump’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance has absolutely nothing to do with our Space Force, which was created through a bipartisan effort. I am not disrespectful of your little itty-bitty islands or of the cute little military protecting your monarch, am I? You need not be jealous of the only nation powerful enough to have a Space Force. Considering the potential of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, the United States Space Force will be vital to the defense of your little islands. As a U.S. citizen, you really have no excuse for not knowing that we already have such a budget and agency, called the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps. It’s one of the eight federal uniformed services of the United States, and is a scientific agency overseen by the Department of Commerce, not the Department of Defense. At least CapBritain’s ignorance of this matter is excusable because he is across the pond.

If you are a British citizen of a Commonwealth county, then it is easy for you to fundamentally misunderstand the United States of America and how we do things here.
