President Trump preparing to return U.S. Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama lawmakers report
Anticipated as one of President Trump’s many first executive actions, it will reverse President Joe Biden’s political, and arguably illegal decision in 2023 to headquarter Space Command in Colorado, despite numerous assessments identifying Huntsville as the superior location based on merit and operational criteria – including a 2022 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report obtained by Yellowhammer News declaring Huntsville as the No. 1 pick over No. 5 Colorado. Rogers said Monday, “I told everybody then that Colorado Springs will not be the future location of Space Command. It will be Huntsville, Alabama who won it fair and square. And President Trump said in the campaign that he was going to reverse that decision if elected. “And I knew he would because if you remember, not only did Alabama win two nationwide competitions, but President Trump’s secretary of the Air Force recommended Huntsville, President Biden’s secretary of the Air Force recommended Huntsville, and then Biden took it away for political reasons.” “And we will start construction next year in Huntsville,” Rogers said.
