According to the proposal, California will collect tax from space transportation companies based on a formula factoring in how often a company launches spacecrafts out of the state, and, most importantly, how far a commercial spacecraft travels from California soil. Between May and mid-October, there were eight launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base, in Santa Barbara County about 50 miles south of San Luis Obispo.

The Franchise Tax Board proposal said certainty about tax treatment "will lead to increased activity in the industry and will foster an atmosphere of growth and prosperity once present during the golden age of California's aviation industry, thereby creating jobs as the industry thrives in this state."

Yes, taxes always foster growth and prosperity...somewhere else where taxes are lower.

At least one company has already been lured away from California for the promise of greater financial incentives – though of a more earthly variety. Moon Express, a company working to mine the moon for natural resources, moved from Mountain View to Florida.

We'll go ahead and clear some space in South Texas for the upcoming move.
 
as i have said quite a few times in the past....if there was a way they would tax you for each shit you drop......and if the tax gets overturned they will just then call it a fee and go from there....
 
Californians get what they deserve until they wake up, storm to San Fran or Stockton or wherever, and do as with Alexandria, and flail the flesh from the politicians bones with conch shells and put Jerry Brown's head on a stick! Then kill all the illegals and Hollywood actors and take their state back.

Ummmm, no. By all means leave the State and it will die under it's own silliness. But murdering people is never a solution to anything. Those who advocate murder are simply infantile baboons.
