The basealso hosted a previous version of the SpaceCommand for 17 years, ending in 2002.Moving the base to the Redstone ArmyAirfield in Alabama, said ColoradoDemocrat Governor Jared Polis in astatement last summer, “would costAmerican taxpayers potentially billions ofdollars and would be fiscally irresponsible.”The Space Command’s Colorado Springsfacility has been a slowly evolving operation,notes the Colorado Springs Gazette, thatnow has “the correct infrastructure, and theright command processes and functions.”A statement issued from the offices ofColorado Democrat Senator MichaelBennet said, “Colorado is the rightful homefor the Space Command,” adding also thatColorado is “the best place for our servicemembers and their families to train, live,work, and retire.”It is not known exactly when Trump willmake a final official decision on the SpaceCommand’s permanent home.Copyright: Canva pro86BUILTENVIRONMENT
