Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
From posts about the presidential election to posts about Hurricane Helene and Federal Emergency Management Agency misinformation, the CCC found them substantial enough to block the Air Force’s plan to give SpaceX permission to launch up to 50 rockets a year from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County.
“I do believe that the Space Force has failed to establish that SpaceX is a part of the federal government, part of our defense,” Commissioner Dayna Bochco said. The CCC was worried about the environmental impacts of the launches, which disturb wildlife, such as threatened species, and people enjoying the California coast who have to leave every time there is a launch.
“Space Force came here and intentionally disrespected us,” Bochco said at the August meeting in which the vote was decided.
