President Trump ordered the creation of an American “Space Force” on live television to keep opponents “in the Pentagon and the White House” from trying to stop it, a key advocate from Alabama says.
The Space Force will become a reality now, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Alabama) believes, but it probably won’t be headquartered at Huntsville’s Redstone Arsenal, as some lawmakers have called for.
“That’s premature and it’s not going to happen,” Rogers said Wednesday. “Missile defense is in my wheelhouse, and Huntsville is the shining star on missile defense, but this is about trying to make the space mission more prominent, better funded, more organized and more efficient. We already have the space command in Colorado Springs, and that is more likely where it will be located.”
