OK... in Huntsville, Alabama you have NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) the world leader in space propulsion technology for both low earth orbit and deep space. You also have the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) leader in ballistic missile defense systems and missile research, development, and acquisition. You also have a large Army presence including the Army Materiel Command (AMC) leader suppling the Army with anything and everything it needs. You also have Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) which develops and delivers responsive aviation, missile and calibration materiel readiness to the Army in order to optimize joint warfighter capabilities at the point of need.
So let's put Space Command in the middle of bumfuk Colorado... makes perfect sense. The space, propulsion and missile technology braintrust is in Huntsville, AL. and is unmatched on the planet.
Just shows democrats couldn't give 2 shats about national security and what is best for the country. If this was a business decision it is a COMPLETE no brainer but the No-brainer in charge just plays politics and is a complete brain dead POS.
