This is exactly how corrupt dictators rule. They don't give a shit about what is best for the country. Instead, they punish their "enemies" (anyone who has an issue with their corruption) and the dip into government resources to bestow favors on those friendly to them. In this case, Trump is punishing "liberal" Colorado and providing favor to friendly Alabama. What is best for the country and/or the cost of moving the command to Alabama is irrelevant.

God what an idiotic and petty move.
Must be a day that ends in "y"
Alabama also has mail-in voting.

Give 'em a minute.
not exactly his home state, but it’s about giving money to Alabama, and taking money away from Colorado.
Alabama will be easier for them to rig
Alabama really doesn't need them to rig anything.
But it's not used much since most people there don't know how to read.
It’s so sad to see that he didn’t die
I loved the part of the presser yesterday where they asked him about it and he pretended he had no idea anyone was saying he was dead
Like yeah, the guy whos been obsessed with twitter for years had no idea that his alleged death was the most trending topic on twitter
Tbf, I'd imagine trump spends all of his time on twitter writing incoherent babble, rather than reading what anyone else has to say.
Space Command, the lawmakers stated, [...] The move “sets our space defense apparatus back years, wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, and hands the advantage to the converging threats of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea,” the delegation wrote.
Ahhh. There's the truth.
Krasnov paying his dues again.
Can we go back to not having a piss-baby for a president?
It's a long road we must walk to get there
There is a BIG FUCKING REASON that Space Command is in Colorado... But no, let the fucking overgrown pants-shitting toddler make these fucking moronic decisions because he's throwing a goddamn tantrum.
Gods I hope they slow-roll this stupid shit until Toadstool Dick is dead.
Cheyenne mountain right?
Also Peterson Airforce Base and Shrever. Not to mention all the R&D that goes on at the Air Force Academy with students. It's also the central satellite hub. I think Hawaii is the next closest one.
Yeah, it would be a pretty big task to move the Stargate and the entire Stargate project to another state. It makes zero sense to have Space Command be that far away from our primary access to space.

I used to work for a Telecom company that was based out of Denver. Well Louisiana offered a big tax break to move it to their state. They had to offer people raises and bonuses to move there, and lock them into 2-3yr contracts. Once down there a buddy of mine was tasked with training new hires. They could only retain about two weeks of information. A few years later the company merged with another and the CEO of the new company said screw Louisiana and moved everything back to Denver.
Following around with the military readiness of your Space Force is how you lose to a Zerg Rush.
A military review previously had recommended the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama
Ah yes, the one with all the Nazis.
Well, to be fair, now it is Space Nazis.
I hate Alabama Nazis
Calling it before the news comes out that Space Command is now run by flat Earthers
Probably a lot of them in bama

shit, so he's still alive...
Are we sure this isn't just weekend at Bernie's? Strings holding his corpse up ?
It's OK, we'll mothball it and when California breaks away we can just be their military outpost.
Funny to punish Colorado springs though, which is conservative as fuck thanks to the air force.
Frustratingly understandable. It's a matter of only keeping the people who are loyal to the current admin.
Luckily, no one competent.
The competent ones either act incompetent to hide, or have gotten away.
And it's the former that should scare you.
good use of taxpayer money! keep winning, replublitards!
the average IQ in Alabama is less than the average cock length in cm, so this will be good
those racist cosplayers really go out of their way to throw a fit and demonstrate inability to lead or do anything useful. should lock em up and throw away the key, destroying the country and wasting so much taxpayer $ like that
Quite a few years ago, I worked at an aerospace company. They decided to transfer operations from California to Alabama, and offered people transfers. Due to cost-of-living differences, that was effectively a massive raise. Uptake of the offer was under 5%, and literally none of the best engineers and managers moved, only the low performers. But the whole rationale was to get a couple cracker senators in their pocket, so I suppose talent retention didn't matter.
I was working on a project outside the US at the time, so I wasn't affected until I repatriated a few years later. I walked right out the door, getting a 60% raise when I went (overseas compensation was excellent, but US base salaries were well below market). The work had been technically fascinating, but I didn't miss the bullshit that went with it.
Oh legal challenge whatever is the king going to do after raising the spectre of legal challenge?
This is why you're where you are.
At least Huntsville is not a bad place for this. Just a stupid reason.
Strategically it's a horrible place. Not only does the elevation provide better ground to space communication, the mountains provide good protection for one of our most important assets.
