The expansion of Vandenberg Space Force Base is creating significant waves in both the aerospace industry and local communities. With plans for over 100 launches annually and a $900 million infrastructure overhaul, the base is positioned to become a critical hub in the space sector. However, this transformation isn’t without controversy. The increased frequency of rocket launches has raised concerns about environmental impacts, sonic booms, and the well-being of local wildlife.
