Well, Tom Roeder from the Colorado Springs Gazette gave us the first report on why the Air Force Academy was on lockdown over the weekend, and what happens as a result of the Air Force officials getting spanked for not controlling their nuclear weapons. Cyber Command, the computer defense and attack unit temporarily housed in Louisiana, comes to Colorado Springs under the auspices of the Air Force Space Command - but will no longer be called Cyber Command, apparently. Meanwhile, nuclear weapons control leaves the Space Command's domain and now moves under.... well... it's not exactly clear. Roeder's article makes it sound like a new constituent command is formed under the U.S. Strategic Command in Omaha, but details are pretty sparse. In any event, the shit all comes home to roost at StratCom, where the bigwigs control nuclear weapons, conventional weapons, global strike, intelligence, and every other icky thing you can think of. But if your computer is hacked, blame the kids in Colorado Springs. And is this inside baseball? Maybe, except that it involves the future of the planet, indicating you just might want to pay attention.

Cyber Command in Colorado Springs, Nuclear Control is....where?...Omaha?

It doesn't really matter where the nukes are, or who is controlling them as long as Colorado Spring's local economy is flourishing! Really Loring, you're much too easily distracted from the important stuff! :)
Oh, but it isn't. We lost all our commercial high-tech, and overreliance on military contractors and evangelism is putting the city into a tailspin. When will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn.
Oh yeah, aren't a couple of evangelical organizations headquartered in Co. Springs? I'm thinking of Navigators, a group we knew of back in the day.
The entire evangelical community of North America is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Navigators, Focus on the Family, Youth with a Mission, New Life Church, etc. etc. It's what we're world-famous for. Auugggh.
Eee gads, I forgot about Focus on the Family, and YWAM. Is World Vision there now too?
Yep. Hard to find one that isn't.
