US Draw Up Rules for Space Tourism

AsiNisiMasa writes "The BBC reports that the United States Federal Aviation Administration has drafted a report proposing some regulations regarding space tourism. Among the rules is a set of guidelines to prevent terrorists from gaining access to the space ships in order to use them as weapons. Many of the other regulations are similar to those regarding regular commercial flights, including safety advice precluding the flights. From the article: 'Space tourists should also be given pre-flight training to handle emergency situations such as a loss of cabin pressure or fire. However, the FAA has so far left any medical requirements in the hands of the tourist, who should decide themselves if they are fit to fly.' The final report will affect enterprises such as Sir Richard Branson's SpaceShipOne."

remember for the most part no one actually expected terrorist to crash jets into skyscrapers

Uhm, yes, the whole US administration who had been told about the threat, that there were actual plans to do this (and by whom) and the same administration who held practice scenarios regarding what they should do when it happened.

Or, is that knowledge under a gag order like everything else that don't fit with the current official 9/11 fantasy being spread in the US?
