Air Force Space Command plans to induct six space visionaries into the Air Force Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame at a ceremony scheduled for Aug. 24. The inductees are retired Air Force officers: Col. Wilbert F. Craig III, Brig. Gen. Maurice A. Cristadoro Jr., Maj. Gen. Ben I. Funk, Col. Francis J. Hale, Lt. Col. Albert W. Johnson, and Col. Richard S. Leghorn.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
