Crank Says Colorado Springs Needs Results Not Anti-Trump Politics From Democrats

By Vince Bzdek | Colorado Politics For U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank, who’s unopposed in the Republican primary for the 5th Congressional District but the main target of both candidates in the lively Democratic primary, the big question in the midterms is not who will stand up to President Donald Trump best. “The question, and I think this will be one in this race, is, does this community just want somebody who’s anti-Trump to fight and push back on Trump?

Colorado Springs Braces For Space Force Growth And Infrastructure Demands

By Mary Shinn | The Gazette As the Space Force prepares to double in size over the next five years, Peterson Space Force Base will need additional space and people to support the growth. The intense period of expansion is expected even as Space Command headquarters relocates to Huntsville, Ala., because it is a small piece of all the space operations in town.

There is a modern space race and this time more than the moon is at stake

By Rocky Mountain Voice Staff As the specter of conflict extends from terrestrial battlegrounds into the celestial sphere, the United States is actively preparing for the possibility of space warfare, spurred by escalating threats from nations like China and Russia. This new era of military strategy underscores a dramatic shift in the dynamics of global power and security. The central assets in this emerging battlefield are satellites, crucial for national defense and global communication systems.
