Elon Musk wants permission to launch more rockets from Cape Canaveral—a lot more.
The FAA is accepting public comment on Musk’s plan through May 15. It takes less than 3 minutes to make your voice heard, and it’s important that we speak up.
Submit a comment RIGHT NOW to tell the FAA to reject Musk’s application.

Here’s the background. Right now, Musk’s SpaceX has permission to launch 50 rockets per year from Cape Canaveral on Florida’s Space Coast.
He’s applied for permission to make that number 120—launching a rocket nearly every 3 days.
Musk’s rockets are dumping pollution into the air and water, destroying wildlife habitats, and raining debris onto South Florida that’s even stopped air traffic.

The FAA only opened public comment on May 13, and it closes at the end of the day on May 15. Public comment periods usually last for weeks or even months. It sure looks like Elon’s lackeys are trying to rush this through with little public scrutiny.
Let’s make our voices heard by telling the FAA to say No to Musk before the window closes!
As #teslatakedown grows, we’re setting our sights on Musk’s entire business empire. Let’s make sure this terrible plan experiences failure to launch.
