According to officials speaking to the Associated Press, the long fight over the final basing location for U.S. Space Command headquarters ended today with a decision from President Joe Biden.
“The president, they said, believes that keeping the command in Colorado Springs would avoid a disruption in readiness that the move would cause, particularly as the U.S. races to compete with China in space,” the AP reported. “And they said Biden firmly believes that maintaining stability will help the military be better able to respond in space over the next decade.”
This comes despite all government reports indicating Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville as the No. 1 choice across the board – outranking number 5 Colorado Springs.
Alabama red.
Colorado blue.
End of story.
Alabama needs the jobs, the federal money and deepening of its gene pool, unlike Colorado.
