The California Coastal Commission has rejected SpaceX’s proposal to increase rocket launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base in 2025, citing concerns over CEO Elon Musk’s controversial social media posts and political involvement.

Military officials plan to continue working with the commission to resolve the issue. Follow @socals for more!
