House Science Committee Approves Changes To Space Law

schwit1 writes: In a series of party line votes, the House Science Committee has approved a number of changes to the laws that govern the private commercial space industry. Almost all of the changes were advocated by the industry itself, so in general they move to ease the regulatory and liability burdens that have been hampering the industry since the 2004 revisions to space law. While it is very unlikely commercial space can ever get free of strong federal regulation, these changes indicate that they can eventually get some of the worst regulations eased.

Re:Free Market Republicans at their Finest

This. Say what you will of Democrats, at least they run on the policies they will implement. Republicans on the other hand run on a con job of "free market" and "no deficits" which in reality means "corporate welfare up the wazoo" and "record deficits because of wars and tax cuts".
