rCLThe California Coastal Commission unanimously votes against increasing Falcon 9 launches to 100 per year. A US military loophole will probably
allow them anyway.rCY

rCLAt ThursdayrCOs hearing, neither SpaceX nor US Space Force
representatives showed up, likely because the military sidestepped the commission by classifying the Falcon 9 launches as a federal activity.
The launches at Vandenberg base have involved both Starlink and
Starshield, a military-grade version of the satellite internet service.rCY

Wait, Starshield ? I have never heard of this.
