President Donald Trump just announced that U.S. Space Command will be relocated from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama.
In an Oval Office press conference on Tuesday (Sept. 2), Trump stated that U.S. Space Command, which oversees space-based warfighting capabilities across the entire U.S. military, including the Space Force, will move to Alabama, reversing a decision by the previous presidential administration.
"I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as 'Rocket City,'" Trump stated today, using a nickname that has long described Huntsville. "We love Alabama. I only won it by about 47 points. I don't think that influenced my decision, right?"
