President Joe Biden has decided to keep the U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado rather than relocate it, rejecting the Trump administration's plan to move it to Huntsville, Alabama.
The decision relied on the recommendation of General James Dickinson, who cautioned that the relocation would compromise military readiness.
The announcement had mixed reactions, with Colorado lawmakers applauding the decision while Alabama officials criticized it as political maneuvering.
It ends months of deliberations and debates over the best location for the headquarters of the Defense Department's outer space military operations wing.
