Gov Ron DeSantis asks Trump to base Space Force Command in Florida

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent a letter to Trump on Tuesday asking if the United State Space Command (USSPACECOM) be headquartered in Florida.

“As the most military-friendly state in the country with a fast-growing commercial aerospace industry, Florida is the ideal location for USSPACECOM. In addition to an already-existing infrastructure and a higly trained workforce, Florida has enduring partnerships with both the Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration,” Gov. DeSantis wrote.

President Trump signed a directive on Tuesday to build the Space Force as a new brach of the military. The Pentagon will draft legislation to send to congress for approval but it’s doubtful that House Democrats will give Trump his funding for the Space Force.
