President Joe Biden has decided to keep U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado, overturning a last-ditch decision by the Trump administration to move it to Alabama and ending months of politically fueled debate, according to senior U.S. officials.
Space command needs a lot of highly educated civilians supporting it alongside the military. COSprings is very conservative but a ton of those civilians live further north in bluer areas.
Moving it to Alabama would have caused a massive brain drain because highly educated people don’t want to live in Alabama.
