Aero-News Quote of the Day

"In August we wrote a bipartisan letter supporting more @SpaceX launches at Vandenberg, citing benefits to national security, broadband connectivity, and wildfire response. Yet the Coastal Commission just rejected the plan, citing unrelated political posts by Elon Musk. This illegal action needs to be reversed immediately.”

Source: In response to the Coastal Commission’s decision to disapprove increasing launches, Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA-3), posted a letter that a group of Congress members sent to the Commission supporting increasing the number of launches. They cited specifically how Starlink is aiding national security, the U.S. Department of Defense, and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for wildfire and disaster response as well as other first responders.
