I thought some of you might be interested in the above bill which seeks, for better or worse, to make regulations more favorable to commercial space activities, including human spaceflight (refer to Section 3(b)] Perhaps the question we should be asking now is whether space should be open to those who are motivated only by profit. Not surprisingly, the bill was authored by Rep. Rohrabacher who referred to the opponents of genetically modified foods as lunatics, slammed the suggestion that citizen juries should decide whether new technologies are fit to enter society, and supports ANWR oil drilling. :angry:

Well, this is something that I believe will help us in the long run. By making space more profitable, it will become less expensive to get there.

Space is a place for everybody. If we restrict space access to only governments, that ideal will never be fulfilled. This goal will be met when buying a ride into space is as simple as buying an airline ticket, and a trip to the moon is about as exciting as a trip to New York City.

Can you summarize HOW this bill assists commercial space flight? Do you believe it would actually help anything?

Well, it is a sign that the government is aware that space technologies are developing rapidly and that people maybe going into space sooner than later in a non-government capacity. At least it appears that the government is willing to allow private spacefarers to go into space in the first place since the bill specifically mentions adding private human spaceflight to some other regulations. The bill IS an indication of that.
