Air Force suspends SpaceX project on Pacific atoll

6. Johnston Atoll was subject to nuclear bomb testing and is still somewhat radioactive...

The island has a history of nuclear testing and chemical weapons disposal, resulting in plutonium contamination from failed rocket launches and other incidents. While cleanup efforts have been undertaken, some radioactive materials remain, and the U.S. military still expects to find some impact from its past activities.

So, while there has been considerable rehabilitation, including to flora/fauna, my guess is this is a direct message/retribution to Musk. It is only about 1500 miles from Kwajalein Military Base (Republic of the Marshall Islands)--that likewise had some residual nuclear contamination, which still retains some missile defense functions today. So, I'm thinking Musk is definitely receiving a FU message.
