Texas Democrats move to block SpaceX Starship/Superheavy launches at Boca Chica>The new Democratic Party land commissioner in Texas plans to immediately challenge the legality of the law that since 2013 has allowed SpaceX to close the beaches at Boca Chica for its Starship/Superheavy launches, doing so the instant he takes office in January.>Now incoming land commissioner Benjamin Flores, once he’s sworn in on January 19, plans to “request an opinion from the Attorney General on the constitutionality of the beach closure statute,” Flores’s chief of staff, Alex Martinez, told Texas Monthly.>The AG’s job is to serve as general counsel for the governor, the Legislature, and state agencies. If Attorney General–elect Nathan Johnson [also a Democrat] were to determine that the exemption for spaceflight activities is unconstitutional, that opinion would provide legal guidance for the GLO [General Land Office] and other state agencies. Flores would keep Boca Chica open. SpaceX’s federal permitting does not allow for launches in that case.>SpaceX will of course immediately challenge any such determination, but the subsequent court fight will certainly delay further launches. And should SpaceX lose in court (now dominated by Democratic Party rule) it would shut Boca Chica down for good.https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/texas-democrats-move-to-block-spacex-starship-superheavy-launches-at-boca-chica/
>Elon Musk’s company relies on an exemption to the state constitution to send its rockets aloft—a measure that the incoming attorney general will be asked to rule on. >Depending on how it all plays out, Musk’s company could end up grounded in Texas just when he’s expecting to considerably ramp up launches. The FAA is reviewing a SpaceX proposal to increase activity from 25 Starship launches and 50 landings per year to up to 456 launches and 912 landings annually. The proposal is moving through public comment phase, one of the last hurdles toward approval. “That’s going to effectively close Boca Chica Beach at least five days a week year-round,” says Jim Chapman, a board member of Save RGV. “The state doesn’t say anything or lift a finger to protect the public’s right to the beach. I would hope that a Democratic administration would defend that.” >Still, activists who have vied against SpaceX in South Texas, bruised after years of steady defeats, are cautiously optimistic about some foundational postelection change. “I think it gives us some hope that we can do something to push back and defend Boca Chica,” Chapman says. “We’ve taken some tough hits.” https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-democrats-boca-chica-spacex/
What a Blue Texas Means for Elon Musk’s Future>State Senator Nathan Johnson, who will succeed Ken Paxton as Texas attorney general, warned Musk in an interview with NBC News on Wednesday.>"I don't have a hit list, but I show no deference to a guy who has gone to great lengths to control the government and do enormous damage globally," Johnson said.>“Like so many families in the Valley, I spent my summers at Boca Chica Beach,” Hinojosa said in a statement released by her campaign. “Now, after 12 years of selling out Texas to his corporate donors and making working people foot the bill, Greg Abbott is handing over our land to the world’s only trillionaire. Let me be clear: Texas is not for sale.”>The Parks and Wildlife Commission has nine governor-appointed members with staggered terms, so she can reshape it over time.https://www.newsweek.com/what-a-blue-texas-means-for-elon-musks-future-12667872
>>17090313good. china won.
>>17090320>Elon Musk’s company relies on an exemption to the state constitution to send its rockets aloftof course it does, rules for thee but not for me
>>17090313lol based, fuck miggers.
Doesn't matter.
>>17090328but but but i thought i was voting for affordability and for data centers to be built far away from texas
>>17090365Why are these ai generated infographics always so cringe
>>17090313All this would mean is that a private company can't unilaterally close down a public beach to potential spectators.
>>17090381why are ai derangement syndrome patients allowed on sci?
>>17090403Sounds like projection
>>17090419i dont hate ai though
He just has to threaten to relocate a few jobs and the retards will tow the line. Plus isn't the state senate republican controlled?
>>17090381They don't have to be. As stupid as the title 'Prompt Engineer' sounds, AI in skilled hands can produce something that's not slop. In the particular case of the Starbase Louisiana image, I specifically went with something extra sloppish since SpaceX is now an AI slop company. And I was too lazy to make something myself and snagged one of the first images I found doing a search.
>>17090381It's trained on hr and diversity info graphics
>>17090313he should ignore ITAR and just move his wealth and his staff to El Salvador :)
>>17090313we have a system where one retarded party undoes all the progress of the other party of imbeciles
>>17090365Abhorrent slop image
When future time from people/material here hit with the distance in space and on Mars, it was separate and huge, the cohesion of space/time as an event is stuck it together and it lit up in the sky at me, and warped me into future time with it.

>>17090381If you tell Claude "make me an infographic about X lol" then Claude will just phone it in and call it a day. It's just like a regular worker you have to rail it's ass to get quality.
