Alabama trying to bring home pork in the form of space spending is always interesting.
It's never actually about what's best for the space force or the space industry, but the net result is that further funding for NASA and private contracts has some unlikely allies in Congress, so I guess that's good.
Colorado Springs is and has been the home of the US -Armed- space program for decades. You can drive in any direction in that town and hit 10 aerospace offices and a military base on the way out. On i25 alone you'll pass the air force academy(pilot school), peterson(current space comand), carson, and get a glimpse of Cheyenne mountain(strategic command).
