The Department of the Air Force is planning to create an environmental impact statement (EIS) for a project at Vandenberg Space Force Base. They intend to redevelop the Space Launch Complex-6 for Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches and increase the number of these launches, including landing in the Pacific Ocean. The project involves potential construction and environmental effects, and public input is sought through scoping meetings to discuss the project and its impacts. The Federal Aviation Administration and the United States Coast Guard are also involved in the EIS process, which evaluates the environmental implications of the proposed space activity.
Simple Explanation
The Air Force wants to change a special place where rockets take off and land, to help more rockets go up and down safely. They want to make sure these changes don't hurt the planet, and they are asking people to share what they think about it.
