The California Coastal Commission has denied SpaceX’s plans to launch satellites from Vandenberg Air Force Base, citing concerns over Elon Musk's political rhetoric and the company's classification as a military contractor.
The California Coastal Commission has denied Space Force plans for Elon Musk ’s SpaceX to launch crucial satellites from Vandenberg Air Force Base because the governmental body doesn’t like Musk’s politics. One commissioner claimed SpaceX should not be allowed to support the American military’s work in space because Musk has “aggressively injected himself into the presidential race.
The primary point of contention was the Air Force’s request to shield SpaceX from having to acquire its own permits, even for launches not carrying military payloads. Commissioner Dayna Bochco expressed doubts, saying, “I do believe that the Space Force has failed to establish that SpaceX is a part of the federal government, part of our defense.”
Despite a seemingly positive turn in September, when the Air Force agreed to meet the commission’s seven conditions, the goodwill dissipated during Thursday’s meeting. Commissioners raised concerns about Musk’s political rhetoric, the company’s labor record, and the classification of SpaceX as a military contractor.
SpaceX officials did not attend the hearing in person, instead offering a statement over Zoom in support of Space Force’s request. The company has not yet responded to requests for comment on the commission’s decision.North Carolina Democrat Candidate Arrested for Stealing Trump SignsMichelle Moons: Arab Americans Are Lining Up to Vote for Trump in Michigan
