Military – Neon-clad dancers will greet rocket scientists, space experts and military brass Monday night in the opening ceremony as the Space Symposium kicks off its 35th year in Colorado Springs.
But the bulk of attendees during the symposium’s four-day run at The Broadmoor are looking forward to answers Tuesday, when leaders from acting Defense Department Secretary Patrick Shanahan to four-star generals will talk about the military’s future in orbit.
“Any answers we can get would be much appreciated,” Colorado Springs Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn said Friday.
There are basic questions. Will President Donald Trump’s proposed Space Force launch? Where will its headquarters be? How will the Space Force change what the military is doing above the planet?
To answer some questions the Pentagon is offering up Shanahan, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, Air Force chief Gen. David Goldfein and Space Command’s Gen. Jay Raymond.
