WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Air Force Space Command is moving from Colorado to Alabama, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday at a White House news conference that touched on far more than that.

Trump’s remarks included a reference to college football, a viral video that seems to show bags tossed out of a second-floor White House window — and Colorado’s election system that Trump assailed as corrupt.

The focus was the Space Command’s relocation from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, a northern Alabama city with deep ties to NASA and private space ventures Blue Origin and Space X, led by tech billionaires Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, respectively.

Colorado Springs is home to NORAD plus other commands and aerospace operations, military and civilian alike, including NASA.
