Seems like a huge waste of money. The engineers can be (and probably are) co-located with launch facilities. The HQ is for bureaucrats, so if they're already in a nice big building it makes no sense to move it. HQ relocations are expensive because the systems they hosts require no downtime, which means everything is built in parallel and then switched over rather than packed up and shipped from one place to the other. I remember our HQ move in '96 was estimated to be $100M by the BRAC commission, and cost well over a billion before they conveniently decided to stop keeping track.Trump plans to move Space Command to Alabama, countering Biden order to keep it in Colorado

It's just a big FU to Colorado.
More likely a mission gripe as Space Force took an arm of the USAF/NORAD mission and feels are all butt-hurt.
I'm okay with that. If it were me I'd cut off all Dembot states and they could piss up a rope. Membership has its privileges.
FNC was reporting that the head of Space Command had recommended the move to Huntsville, but was overridden by the Biden administration.
As further evidence of the complete snit that the disappointed Times had worked itself into, it completely ignored the actual reason for Trump’s announcement, which was relocating the Space Force HQ from Colorado to Alabama— where it had originally been assigned before Biden shifted it to the nation’s recreational marijuana capital.NO, President Trump seemed to say yesterday. It goes over HERE.
Upon entering Huntsville, Alabama, it becomes immediately obvious why the town is the perfect fit for the new military branch, and why locals call it “Rocket City.” When I delivered a speech there last year, I caught an Uber from the airport to downtown. Traveling down the highway, one enters an awe-inspiring giant’s playground of massive buildings, littering the landscape, each bigger than the last, altogether appearing like scattered blocks that gargantuan beings living above the beanstalk play left behind after playtime.
Every big building has a familiar big sign decorating its side. Raytheon, Blue Origin, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, phases I-III of the Von Braun Complex, and so on, a seemingly endless gallery of big-box defense contractors and space companies. They are all right there.
Downtown Huntsville hums with high-tech electricity. Miniature rockets decorate the lamp-posts. Spaceship-shaped jungle gyms dot the kids’ section of the park. People from every country and every state stroll purposefully, as if on important missions, between the town’s colorful buildings, restaurants, parks, and hotels.
“There’s probably more Ph.Ds and engineers in Huntsville than there are in Silicon Valley,” said Ken Spencer, the site lead for Pratt & Whitney in neighboring Madison, Alabama, which provides specialty coatings for the aerospace industry. “This is a tremendous place.”
“It’s been amazing to me,” said Patti Dare, a Raytheon site manager who relocated from New England to Huntsville in late 2019. “I haven’t seen cooperation like this anywhere. I’ve never seen anything like this culture or this environment.”
The town is skyrocketing amidst a multi-billion-dollar high-tech building frenzy. Everything in Huntsville feels brand new. Standing in downtown, it is immediately obvious to even the most TDS-deranged Democrat that Huntsville has rocket fever.
More importantly, in 2020, Huntsville won two consecutive technical contests run by the Air Force for the site (after other states complained about the first round, the military re-launched the contest— and Huntsville won again). But as soon as Biden infested the Oval Office, he overrode the double-selection and re-aimed the nation’s newest military branch at Cheyenne Mountain in deep-blue Colorado. (In 2023, a Times subheadline admitted Biden’s move was pure politics.)
Yesterday’s Space Force re-relocation was not just logical and fair, but also budget-friendly. Since everything is much cheaper in Alabama than in Denver, the not inconsiderable cost of relocating Space Force to its original selected site will be eclipsed by the annual operational savings.
As with so many other things, President Trump is making everything bad from the Biden era come untrue.
Which probably explained why corporate media snidely ignored yesterday’s actual news —Space Force’s dramatic and controversial restoration— but instead headlined stories about Trump being not dead.
Be aware that Trump derangement kills (brain cells). Do not ignore the warning signs.

Gheez Huntsville has changed since I visited in 1992
Well we have to decide what’s worse, hurricanes or blizzards.
Hurricanes will get you a DUI

"Where did all those NAZI scientists go as part of Operation Paperclip when they were brought to the united states after WW2? They were brought to the massive underground facility in Huntsville Alabama and the Redstone Army Arsenal that was eventually called the Marshall Space Flight Center.
So it's no conscience that President Trump yesterday announced that Space Force would be moving 30,000 employees to Huntsville Alabama."

You think they’ve got a lot of 100 year old Nazis locked up under the Marshall space flight center?
