I did not know we had that here in Colorado till I read this but, seems better if it remains here there is no good reason to move it.

Also slightly unrelated but I wonder if somehow they were responsible for those strange orbs I saw that one night, over denver.

The reason is obvious. Trump didn't win in Colorado.

<sarcasm>As we all know, the one and only one qualification for federal anything is loyalty to Trump.</sarcasm>

Space Command is less than two years old, Colorado Springs has been a provisional headquarters since its inception, and no true decision will be made until 2023. It's not really up to Trump.

Redstone Arsenal in Alabama does have the Army's Space and Missile Defense Command and the Space Intelligence Center. If this is going to be a long-term military complex, its permanent home base will outlive any one given president.

I hope the decision isn't made on the whim of any one president or any one local representative of the competing areas, but rather a decision that makes the most long-term strategic sense.
