The California Coastal Commission rejected SpaceX's request to launch 50 rockets, asserting its authority to protect coastal ecosystems while highlighting concerns over the private company's safety record.
SpaceX's lawsuit against the California Coastal Commission claims that the agency exceeded its authority by denying the launch request, which was made on behalf of the US Space Force.
The Commission clarified that while the US Space Force may rely on SpaceX, the nature of the launches does not meet the criteria for federal agency activities.
The crux of the conflict lies in the argument whether SpaceX launches should be classified as federal activities, potentially exempting them from the Commission's oversight.
