where do we locate the U.S. Space Force Academy?

just an exercise here... not a debate on whether it is a good idea or not (or necessary or not)...
so, if we taxpayers find ourselves paying for a sixth branch of the military, and in the unlikely event it is large enough to have an academy, where do we locate the United States Space Force Academy?
Is the answer political (i.e. swing state)? So Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Michigan, North Carolina and others are in play?
Is the answer political (i.e. clout)? So Texas, California, Florida and others are in play?
Is the answer a state with some launch facility? So Virginia, New Mexico, Nevada, Florida, California, Hawai'i and Alaska in play?
Does the concentration of military academies between Connecticut and Maryland draw AWAY from the northeast for site selection?
Do we choose some very central location, out of "most" tornado, hurricane, blizzard and earthquake-prone regions? (as best as can be anticipated)
Other criteria?
Also, what would be a good name for their football team?

I think the moon would be the logical location.
