Aero-News Quote of the Day

“The FAA launch indemnification authority has been in place for over twenty years and the American commercial space industry has benefited significantly over this time. Thankfully the provision has never been triggered by a serious accident. But the stability it provides allows the U.S. to remain competitive in the global market and push the boundaries of space technology. While I would have preferred a longer extension, this bill buys us time to work on a long-term extension that we will take up next year.” Source: House Science Committee Chair Lamar Smith (R-TX), on full House passage of the Space Launch Liability Indemnification Extension Act.
