As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his second term, significant changes are anticipated regarding the U.S. Space Command headquarters. Reports indicate that Trump may relocate the Space Command from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama, potentially within his first week in office. Representative Mike Rogers has suggested that this move would separate Space Command from the Space Force, further igniting discussions on the implications for Colorado's immigrant community, public lands, and abortion access. The shift could have substantial ramifications for the state, particularly in light of the ongoing debates surrounding military installations and local governance.
