Trump plans to move Space Command to Alabama, countering Biden order to keep it in Colorado
Both Colorado and Alabama have been vying to house Space Command, which Trump established in 2019

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Space Command’s headquarters would move from Colorado to Alabama — capping off a yearslong fight over where the command should be based.

While Space Command has been operating out of Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Trump during his first term pushed for the command’s headquarters to go to Huntsville, Alabama. However, former President Joe Biden announced in 2023 that the command would remain based in Colorado.

"The U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City," Trump told reporters Tuesday.

"This will result in more than 30,000 Alabama jobs," Trump said. "And probably much more than that, and hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. … Most importantly, this decision will help America defend and dominate the high frontier, as they call it."

Speculation that Trump would announce a move to Space Command increased after the agency initially posted a livestream link for Trump’s 2 p.m. Eastern announcement Tuesday with a description that the event was related to Space Command’s headquarters. The description was subsequently updated to remove the mention of Space Command.

The announcement comes after both Colorado and Alabama have been vying to house Space Command, which Trump reestablished in 2019 as a new combatant command to oversee U.S. military space operations and is currently involved in Trump's Golden Dome initiative.

"In Huntsville, (Space Command) will play a key role in building the Golden Dome," Trump said Tuesday. "As you know that's going to be a big thing. Everybody wants to be a participant in it. Missile defense shield. We're going to be having a golden dome that the likes of which nobody's ever seen before…I hope it will also ensure that our technical technological capabilities, of which we're way ahead of anybody else, is nobody close, remain unmatched long into the future."

I admit I didn't read the whole article. But I am having a hard time understanding this move. It sounds expensive. Is this retribution against Colorado? Or Biden? Or is it actually advantageous?

Well I guess it also made us far more likely to be considered a Nuclear target, but sure is a nice boost to the local economy. Huntsville is known for having a great tech worker force and now is the largest population center of the state (including Birmingham which has gone to the dogs).

It makes sense.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Huntsville is also known as "Rocket City," and is where Von Braun set up his headquarters for the Saturn V project and its predecessors.
