Trump announces he is moving the US Space Command HQ from Colorado to Alabama

It will now be known as Rocket City? Dumbass it is already called Rocket City. I live 40 mins from there and Rocket City is all over the place. Maybe know a place before you insist Trump is calling it Rocket City like he came up with it. He did not.

Uhhh, Huntsville has been known as "Rocket City" for decades.

Colorado will lose 30,000 jobs.

Asshole, vindictive Trump punishing a blue state and rewarding a red state.

Die, motherfucker, die.

Are they up to the challenge for infrastructure? Southern cities sound like they often seem less adept at infrastructure, since it’s “socialist”.

Wow, totally BREAKING NEWS, OP!!!

You're just so quick.

If only someone hadn't already beaten you to the punch.

In announcing the move Trump also criticized the state of Colorado — which has Democrats in its statewide elected offices — saying, “The problem I have with Colorado, one of the big problems, is they do mail-in voting. ” (Several red states also allow some form of mail-in voting, including Utah, which like Colorado, has automatic mail-in voting.)

Meanwhile, Colorado officials blasted Trump’s decision. The state’s governor, Jared Polis, called the move a “waste (of) taxpayer dollars” and an “inconvenience (to) military families” that must relocate.

Trump announces Space Command move to Alabama. Here’s why it matters

$1 billion economic impact

In 2023, then-President Joe Biden sought to make SPACECOM’s Colorado Springs location permanent, heeding a recommendation from Gen. James Dickinson, the former head of Space Command, who cautioned that relocating to Alabama could jeopardize military readiness because it would take time to make the headquarters fully operational.

Colorado officials cheered Biden’s decision. The local chamber of commerce noted that the “decision preserves the nearly 1,400 Colorado jobs and annual economic impact of $1 billion reliant on Space Command’s HQ in Colorado Springs.”

OP, learn to search, you moron.

But, but, isn’t that NORAD in CO? You can’t duplicate the inground mountaintop secret space in AL.

Does Alabama even have the infrastructure for such change?

Colorado Springs is full of fundamentalist Christians who vote for Republicans.
