Trump is moving Space Command to Alabama

President Donald Trump is moving US Space Command’s headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, he announced during a press conference on Tuesday. The change reverses former President Joe Biden’s 2023 decision to leave it in Colorado Springs, where its temporary headquarters have been established.

During the press conference, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL), chair of the House Armed Services Committee, called Biden’s decision to keep Space Command in Colorado “political,” though Trump claimed Colorado’s mail-in ballot policy was a “big factor” in choosing Alabama.

When asked why the administration chose Alabama for the Space Command, Trump said, “…it just works, because we have so much else there,” referencing the presence of NASA, SpaceX, and the Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin in the state. He also said the Space Command headquarters will “play a key role” in building the Golden Dome missile defense system.
