How competitive is it to get a Space Force slot at USAFA? Is it really popular so that only top Cadets barely have a chance of getting it?

86 members from the class of 2020 were commissioned into the Space Force. From the attached article, that will grow to 115 for the class of 2021 and then stabilize at about 80 per year. There will some majors (e.g. AstroE) that will be more aligned with a Space Force commission than others.

The U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado plans to send more students to the Space Force in 2021 than it did in the first cohort last year.

So nothing really like Marine Corps-Navy where 25% of USNA Midshipmen commission as Marine officers is it?

No but it is still almost 10%, not an insignificant amount. And consider how many people don't want a slot.
