    Residents of the Central Coast in Lompoc and other communities nearby Vandenberg have shared their growing concerns

    You don’t get the money from people visiting for launch support without there being launches. Lompoc, sorry, but you need the money.

        It looks like the ones to make the call will be in the Department of Defense. And I can guess what they’ll say.

        We have limited viable locations in the US to launch rockets. Vandenberg is largely surrounded by farming communities. I’m sorry, but, like Boca Chica, the greater good comes from telling some people to pound sand.
