KLFY article

quote:

The Republican congressman wrote a letter to the president , suggesting Louisiana was an “ideal location” because of its strong existing relationships with the military and NASA.

Abraham, who is running for governor, says Space Force would “fit perfectly” at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City. He notes NASA’s existing Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans has built components for the nation’s space program for decades.


Do it!

Louisiana was one of the sights the government looked at before they settled on Cape Canaveral. We can't lose out to Florida again but I'm sure JBE will find a way to screw this up.

Ralph Abraham made me get undressed and then he fondled my junk when I was a teenager.

He didn't mention the Cyber Innovation Center in Bossier. Seems that could be a good selling point for bringing in the space command.

Right...and when need something built on time you go to Michoud. Yeah right. They are so far behind schedule on SLS Core stage it isn't even funny.

If it goes to La, it will be Barksdale that gets it.

I'm sorry that someone from Louisiana is trying to better his state.

Honestly would be a good thing, but infrastructure and experience for space is really centered around Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB and Edwards AFB. Anything outside those would surprise me.

Also the Los Angeles Ai Force Base located in El Segundo. It is the site if the Schreiver Space Complex and is very close to LAX. It is the AF Space and Missile Systems Center.

There should be no shitting on Abraham for requesting this. When is the last time an elected official was at the forefront of trying to lure something as big to the state?

I hope he is talking with Trump about announcing this before he runs against JBE?

Schriever AFB


Could be a second one if built in the swamps and cane fields around Thibodaux.
