shite. Housing costs just went up again then. I plan on moving back there in five years. They pay teachers less than in Louisiana.

I think the Biden Administration is planning to keep it. Plus, Congress will have to be the ones to eliminate it.


Space Force has been the laughing stock of Trump's administration and I don't think they want to have a branch of the military who's origins are associated with him. Plus the main adversary of the SF is China and Joe won't let that stand.

The Huntsville "metro" area is predicted to pass Birmingham as the most populous area of Al-la-BAMA within the 2020s.

Mostly folks from outside Alabama contributing to that population growth and that ain't bad.

I don't know. I would probably consider Raleigh-Durham or maybe DFW as the Silicon Valley of the south before Huntsville.



HSV is most definitely the Silicon Valley of the south. All the cutting edge hypersonic technologies for manufacturing are located there for example

UAH has a program for optical engineering, and I don't even know what that is.

Sheeit, Jimmy Smith better get a Chevy or Ford store there on 72 so he can sell some overpriced, underpowered muscle car to a new E-1 Space Cadet.

Guardian. The term is Space Force Guardian

*snicker*

At least the Air Force won't be the ones everyone picks on anymore.

City of Colorado Springs is NOT HAPPY right now.


Reports coming out from here are that the Secretary of the Air Force selected Colorado Springs/Peterson Air Force base for the permanent location of Space Command, but the President ignored the decision and chose Huntsville instead.

Multiple folks, including the Democratic Governor and Republican House member representing Colorado Springs, have called it a politically charged decision. Fueling their theories is that Redstone Arsenal is in Mo Brooks' distrct.

I sure hope they get rid of this pointless branch. Not because of Trump, just because it's redundant. We already have NASA and the USAF working on space programs, not to mention a strong partnership with SpaceX. Just a big ole boondoggle, wasting our money on something not needed. More bureaucracy, yeah!!!

That would be the most petty way possible to make such a decision, so I'm certain it's true.

Oh well, if the Space Force has to exist it might as well benefit Alabama.

Further reports include that there is 0 dollars included in the plan for relocation and that multiple members of Colorado's congressional delegation are reaching out to President-Elect Biden to reconsider.


Also that they plan to open a congressional investigation into how the decision was reached.


This is about to get messy for no real reason.

I am old enough to remember when the Dems and the MSM mercilessly mocked Reagan over his strategic defense initiative. Everyone called it Star Wars and laughed at him. It wasn't long before no one was laughing any more.
