[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point of this press conference?[/quote]

To show everyone he's still alive and rub it in every blue state governor's face that he does and will continue to favor states that voted for him. [/quote]

Colorado voted for him and yet, he just announced removing hundreds of federal jobs from there.[/quote]

Gotta have as much waste as possible. The deficit isn't going to double on it's own. [/quote]

The jobs belong in Huntsville.  They are not wrong about that.  That's where the space research began after WWII.  Surprised they didn't mention Huntsville's history with space and putting a man in space.  Space Camp is there, as well.
They designed the rockets there.[/quote]

Stupid question but I thought part of the allure of Colorado was hiding things in the mountains and because it was [b]close to the pacific coast[/b].[/quote]

Not a stupid question at all. Colorado’s Pacific coastline is a big advantage. Space Force personnel love that Colorado surfing.

Well you made it stupid!

It is okay, I looked it up and yup, there is a command center in Colorado mountains.

[i]At the height of the Cold War in the late 1950s, the idea of a hardened command and control center was conceptualized as a defense against long-range Soviet bombers. The Army Corps of Engineers supervised the excavation of Cheyenne Mountain and the construction of an operational center within the granite mountain.  The Cheyenne Mountain facility became fully operational as the NORAD Combat Operations Center on April 20, 1966.

Over the years, the installation came to house elements of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), U.S. Strategic Command, U.S. Air Force Space Command and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). Under what became known as the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center (CMOC), several centers supported the NORAD missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control and provided warning of ballistic missile or air attacks against North America.[/i]

I guess Alabama is close enough to protect Trump in Florida and DC, that they just said to heck with this![/quote]

Hello from North Bay, Ontario, which had the first underground complex as part of NORAD. North Bay and Colorado Springs were twin bases, and many USAF officers were stationed here and vice versa. NORAD includes all of the radar stations in the sub-Arctic and Arctic, including the Dew Line. We still have NORAD operations here with Americans.
