An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Stop SpaceX Sonic Booms Now

37 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The recent increase in SpaceX rocket launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base have resulted in sonic booms that are terrorizing residents of local California communities. Residents are being startled by loud noises, with some describing impacts akin to a car collision. Pets have also been distressed by these sonic disturbances. While some monitoring suggests wildlife may only experience temporary displacement, there are also concerns about potential long-term harm. A new approach is needed. Immediate efforts must be made to mitigate the noise cause by sonic booms either by making operational adjustments or exploring alternative launch locations that minimize disruptions to residential areas and sensitive habitats. This issue is only going to get worse as the number of launches continue to increase. Continued disregard for this issue risks collapsing public support for the space industry in California. I urge you to consider the negative impacts these sonic booms are having on the well-being of your constituents and the local environment. Please act now.
