Biden Administration Takes Major Step to Militarize Outer Space by Keeping U.S. Space Command Headquarters in Colorado

The United States is seeking to militarize outer space, and President Joe Biden has taken a major step in that direction. On Tuesday, Biden decided to keep the headquarters for U.S. Space Command in Colorado, reversing a decision then-President Donald Trump made in his final days in office to move the command to Alabama.

The decision was made at the recommendation of military officials who said it would be better for readiness to keep the command where it is, instead of taking the time and resources to outfit a new headquarters. Biden was convinced by the head of Space Command, Gen. James Dickinson, who argued that moving his headquarters now would jeopardize military readiness.

The decision to keep the headquarters in Colorado Springs was made to ensure peak readiness in the space domain for the nation. It is part of the Biden administration’s broader effort to militarize outer space, which includes plans to expand the U.S. military’s presence in space and to develop new capabilities to counter threats from other nations.

The Biden administration is also seeking to strengthen international cooperation and collaboration in space, and to ensure that space remains a peaceful domain for exploration and development. The U.S. is currently working with other nations to develop a set of international rules and norms to govern activities in space.

The decision to keep the headquarters for U.S. Space Command in Colorado is a major step in the Biden administration’s effort to militarize outer space. It will ensure that the U.S. is prepared to respond to any threats in the space domain, and will help to ensure that space remains a peaceful domain for exploration and development.
