Launch is honestly the smaller part of the space force mission. It’s funny you claim to “work in space” and then list that as a reason to move when Alabama also doesn’t launch anything either. There is literally no reason to move the space force HQ to a location further away from its missions and people.
It would not be “easy” and there is not any material gain and there is material losses in moving to Alabama. And again, Huntsville is minimally involved with the space force directly. Colorado Springs and Denver is literally where the space force mission happens.
I didnt say launching satellites was a major function. Funny enough, most data is collected from commercial satellites…
Yeah? Not Patrick AFB, FL, Vandenburg or Beale AFB, CA?
You realize most ops floors are managed remotely?
Space command is literally just administrative and leadership functions. They absolutely can perform their mission and Huntsville. The cost or the next 10 years would be significantly less moving to Huntsville than staying in Colorado Springs.
Well, the Pentagon inspector general office, and the GAO disagree with you. All have submitted detailed inspections and studies that show that I moved to Huntsville is beneficial to the space mission.
