SpaceX Scrubs Falcon 9 Rocket Launch With Just 11 Seconds To Go After Delta Air Jet Flies Into Restricted Airspace

Air Traffic Control tapes for this incident can be heard [here](https://youtu.be/4RMhf0YELrA)
So on something like this, assuming the Delta pilot was in error, does SpaceX have any legal recourse? Like can they make Delta pay for the cost of the scrubbed launch? I’m genuinely curious how that works.
Is there ever any sort of compensation for having to scrub a launch due to violations?
Oh good, personal attacks. Great Community 10/10
Whoops. Going to be a lot of meetings after that one.
Wasn’t really expecting a full on war between SpaceX and commercial aviation just yet.
SpaceX did try to blast a bunch of planes out of the sky over the Caribbean this past week. They can’t complain too much about violating air space when people are filming parts of rockets falling overhead.
The controller said he was going to vector them around R-2517, which he did.
SpaceX was concerned about R-2516, which the plane was vectored through.
Does anyone have a copy of the actual NOTAM? Was it for R-2516 or R-2517?
Edit: they are both active continuously, so was there even a specific NOTAM regarding the launch?
