Two important points about Space Command moving to Huntsville: 1. The Epstein files are EAT UP with references to Trump, and 2. IT IS STILL JUST THIRTY-EIGHT MILES TO GUNTERSVILLE!

This is what Trump does all the time. He hears something he likes and tries to convince others that he invented it. His brain, now gelatinous, necrotic, and possibly radioactive, is the analogue to a magpie. www.al.com/politics/202...

It's slowly becoming accepted around here that Von Braun and his team got the Mother of All Second Chances in life. With few exceptions they kept their heads down and did what their new country wanted them to do. Also, Wallace absolutely HATED Von Braun's guts. So that's one point for Wehrner.

I also think the move of Space Command (not Space Force) to my hometown of 30 years is a pure political move. But if all you have is dumb redneck jokes you are cordially invited to GFY.

30+ year Huntsvillian here. (Yes, I'm wearing shoes and know how to use indoor plumbing.) But It's also a weird fit because this is such a thoroughly Army town. I sure wish we could be known for something homegrown.

Them Germunns ($1 to Gov. Wallace) were inadvertently responsible for Huntsville schools being *relatively* peacefully integrated in the 1960s. But not from an enlightened attitude. From fear of losing that sweet sweet NASA money. Direct threat from DC, allegedly) Hey, you take what you can get.

The mood in Huntsville among engineers about Space Command seems to be a baffled meh. - More jobs good - More traffic bad - Is this just punishing a blue state and rewarding a red state? - Will it be affected again when Dems get back in power? - Do we even want this? This face:

One question is, will civilian employees be willing to move to HSV from Colorado? For instance, area schools are at or near the top in Alabama, but that just makes them maybe average nationally.

Most plausible version: Bobby Kennedy or his deputy Katzenbach made a call to the mayor's office and said if there was one peep of resistance to the minimal school integration being ordered by courts, that all this fancy NASA research and associated $$$ could be easily relocated to CA.

Weird thing is that the presence of the Germans here at NASA resulted in 1960s Huntsville not joining Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham, and other cities in the state with massive violent resistance to school integration. City honchos didn't wanna loose that sweet Apollo/SaturnV project money.
