Elon Musk gets an apology from California regulators as a SpaceX lawsuit settled
apnews.comCalifornia seems to be infested with bureaucrats, advisory boards, committees and commissions who have the goal of preventing human civilization.
Their goals always sound more noble than that when they say it :)
For once, the coastal commission isn't above the law. I doubt this will humble them, but at least it means if you have a few billion dollars, you might be able to get something through, in their jurisdiction.
You may recall the incident a few years back when the regulators, whose job is to protect the coastline, denied SpaceX a permit to launch more times per year based on his political statements, weaponizing their government power against someone with a minority political opinion.
Gavin Newsom said on Real Time with Bill Maher last night that California is leading in space industry.
I … guess??
A lot of companies with satellites are based in California. Enough that every few years they talk about applying property taxes to satellites in orbit.
Fascism is not a minority political opinion. It's a mental illness.
