The Trump administration will announce that U.S. Space Command will be located in Alabama, reversing a Biden decision to keep it in Colorado. This was a long-fought battle between the two states, impacting local economies and politics. Alabama's Huntsville, known as 'Rocket City', boasts strong space infrastructure, including Redstone Arsenal and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. The decision follows a 2021 Air Force recommendation and a later decision by President Biden to keep it in Colorado. A Pentagon review couldn't definitively explain the Colorado choice, leading to the reversal.
