- stephengillie 8y agoWe need somewhere for alien motherships to land and trade their wares. Roswell has too many tourists.
- azernik 8y agoYou joke, but there is actual serious regulatory uncertainty with space launches - the Air Force is trying to hand over more and more regulatory authority to civilians, and there's a serious question of which responsibilities belong to the DoC (through the FCC, for historical reasons) and which to the DoT (through the FAA).
- bonestamp2 8y agoThere already are some spaceports in the US. So I guess it kind of makes sense to have some oversight. Although I assumed this was just covered by the FAA since they're basically just airplanes at this point.
