Ah, so this was the political favor in exchange for the large platform for the announcement.
> The law exempts “spaceflight entity from liability for injury to or death of a crew resulting from spaceflight activities under certain circumstances.” The measure also requires “a spaceflight entity to have a crew sign a specified warning statement.”
Maybe NASA should consider other locations if their astronauts have to sign this.

- galleywest200 3y agoI am not sure, actually. I will have to read further. I do know that SpaceX has contracts to send people up soon, and this law says its applies to public and private entities.

He benefitted from a lot of government support for EVs and now that it's in the bag, he can move on. DeSantis made some highly equivocal statement about the "politicization of weather" in response to a question on climate while adding that he supported private investment to reduce emissions. That's some top tier fence-sitting that acknowledges his party's indifference to climate change and his indebtedness to an EV manufacturer.
