Road to economic victory:

1. Scrap the F-35 purchase. Divert the $10 billion over 10 years to the CSA, and just like computer hardware, we wait until the new model comes out and buy it on discount later.

2. Use this huge increase in funding to create new departments of the CSA to focus on satellite development, launch vehicle production and eventually, space cargo and space stations.

3. Laugh (politely) as we watch the US crumble for spending too much on defense while we take photos from space.
