Air Force Space Command is sending forth emissaries to schools to talk up the benefits of pursuing science and engineering programs. There is a well-known dearth of students pursuing math and science.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited the site of U.S. Space Command’s future home Dec. 12 and endorsed the move to establish the headquarters in Alabama after years of political back and forth.
