The 6-to-4 vote is non-binding but reflects significant discontent with Musk and his company. The proposal aimed to increase the number of Falcon 9 launches from 36 to 50 this year. Some commissioners specifically mentioned Musk's social media posts and support for Donald Trump as factors influencing their decision. The decision impacts Space Force's plans for satellite launches from Vandenberg.
