Biden keeps Space Command in Colorado

Corrected title …

“Biden Keeps National Embarrassment in Colorado.”

 

Partisan BS aside, why shouldn't SpaceCom be located in either Huntsville or near Canaveral? It probably has a better alignment with NASA than with NORAD.

 

I can see both sides. I agree Space Command being in Huntsville/Canaveral/Houston makes sense given the existing talent pool and infrastructure already in place in those locations. However, as I understand it, Space Command is less about research and more about military objectives - granted there is a lot of overlap there. Summer before last, we were in C-Springs for our son to meet with AFA coaches and got an offer to play football there - so I might have some bias ; ) (And, no he didn't accept the offer.) What they did show us - mostly plans - looked pretty impressive. Then again, they could probably do the same at the other locations. Either way it's going to be expensive and, like many, I also question the need for the project at all.

 

In that case, we already have the infrastructure for it. "Won't you gentlemen have a Pepsi?"

 

Why do you think it’s a national embarrassment?

 

Why did Trump claim he wanted to move it from Colorado to begin with?

 

I think we should just keep moving it around, everyone gets it for a week

 

I think it shouldn't even be based on earth.

 

In an utter overplay of his hand the Senator watched in horror as Biden ran the kick-off back for a multi-billion dollar touchdown, danced in the end zone, spiked it, and turned to the sidelines to watch Tubs cry. Tuberville was always a shit tactician. Welcome to the SEC of politics dumbass.

I thought that was in San Francisco.

 

Has there ever been a worse Senator than Tubberville?

 

"Formally created in August 2019, the command was temporarily based in Colorado, and Air Force and Space Force leaders initially recommended it stay there. In the final days of his presidency Donald Trump decided it should be based in Huntsville."

"Proponents of keeping the command in Colorado have argued that moving it to Huntsville and creating a new headquarters would set back its progress at a time it needs to move quickly to be positioned to match China’s military space rise. And Colorado Springs is also home to the Air Force Academy, which now graduates Space Force guardians, and more than 24 military space missions, including three Space Force bases."

Space Command has a complicated history and an evolving mission, but it's been around in some form or other for over 40 years. All, or most of it, in Colorado. Absent a compelling reason for a move that would inevitably cause disruptions, I see no reason for SC to leave Colo.

"Air Force Space Command, activated Sept. 1, 1982, is a major command with headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. AFSPC provides military focused space capabilities with a global perspective to the joint warfighting team."

 

too close to Mexico.

 

It's a solution in search of a problem.
