A new environmental study is intended to support the continued increase of SpaceX launches from a California spaceport, but that growth faces obstacles.
It looks like the ones to make the call will be in the Department of Defense. And I can guess what they'll say.
We have limited viable locations in the US to launch rockets. Vandenberg is largely surrounded by farming communities. I'm sorry, but, like Boca Chica, the greater good comes from telling some people to pound sand.
Defending and acknowledging history are two different things. Yes the entirety of space exploration started because we forgave a few Nazis; now we have gps and can shit post from anywhere, also beds are infinitely better.
Therefore yes, Elon is a Nazi, however with reusable rockets and starship's inflight refueling, we get an excuse to invent way crazier shit that has normal use cases as we flail among the planets.
The greater good = More spy satellites for the National Reconnaissance Office and better internet connectivity for remote communities in the far north.
