Chance Saltzman, who was in town Friday for the premiere of the documentary “Always Above” about Space Force at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center on Friday, May 2, 2025.Are you ready to move to Huntsville? is a question U.S. Space Force Commanding General B. Chance Saltzman says he is asked “all of the time.”
“What’s the difference? Space is space,” Saltzman said he is asked. “The Department of Defense organizes its warfighter activities around 11 combatant commands. One of those is U.S. Space Command. It is responsible for taking guidance and direction from the president and Secretary of Defense for any activities you would consider warfighting in the space domain.
“Obviously the science, the research, the human space flight, the technology advancements you get with NASA are tremendously valuable on the national security side,” Saltzman said. “We collaborate on best practices, the safety of flight, the safety of launches. Can we do this properly? Can we do it well? Can we do this together? We share a lot of information and lessons learned. We stay very well connected.
