President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday afternoon that Space Command will move its headquarters from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Huntsville, Alabama.

Trump, flanked by the Alabama congressional delegation in the Oval Office, said his decision would create 30,000 jobs in the state and “probably much more than that,” as well as “hundreds of billions of dollars of investment.”
