Part 13/15:
In a notable development, President Trump announced that the U.S. Space Command will relocate from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama. Trump's official proclamation praised Huntsville as a historic hub for rocket and missile development, home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and the Army’s Redstone Arsenal. The move aims to capitalize on Huntsville’s legacy of innovation, including its role in the Apollo program, the space shuttle, and the International Space Station.
The decision drew swift criticism from Colorado officials, who argued that relocating the headquarters would undermine U.S. space defenses and waste billions of taxpayer dollars. They expressed concerns that the move could set back national security and advantage adversaries like China and Russia.
