SpaceX has filed a lawsuit against the California Coastal Commission after it rejected the company's proposal to increase launches from the state's coastline to 50 annually. The commission's decision, made on October 10, came despite support from the U.S. Air Force, citing national security concerns. SpaceX alleges political discrimination against CEO Elon Musk influenced the decision. The lawsuit raises significant questions about legal authority over launch activities performed by commercial entities for the Department of Defense. The outcome could impact future space operations and regulations.
