California Commission Votes Against More SpaceX Launches, Impacting Space Force's Vandenberg Plans
Oct 11, 2024, 09:10 PM
California's Coastal Commission has voted against approving additional SpaceX rocket launches, citing concerns over CEO Elon Musk's political activities, labor practices, and comments about the transgender community. 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.
