Three primary factors, regardless of anything else, should make relocation of the Colorado Springs-based Space Command an unthinkable prospect: 1. Billions of dollars have been invested in assets used by Space Command in and around Peterson Air Force Base. Abandoning them for a political favor would cost taxpayers a substantial and needless expense at a time when the national debt is rising beyond our economy’s ability to service it. If President-elect Joe Biden cuts military spending after taking office, the prospect of a move becomes even more financially absurd. That’s not to mention the money we must continue hemorrhaging trying to recover from the pandemic. We cannot disrupt the military at a time like this.
