The Space Foundation Conference

Feedback: What did you think of this show?: 

Robert Zimmerman returned as the guest for this Space Show program. We began the interview with Robert discussing the new proposed FAA regulations for space travel and flight. The regs can be found at www.faa.gov. The final date for them to become law is in June so if you want to comment on the proposed regs, now is the time to do it. In the discussion, Robert was critical of the regs from the perspective of taking away freedom from Americans by having the government act as the source of standards for safety and everything else. Heated discussions followed with listeners calling to talk to Robert, especially regarding the subject of medical standards for those wanting to take a trip to suboribtal space. After discussing the proposed regulations, Robert also talked about manned versus science missions within NASA and JPL and said it was a lie for scientists to blame problems regarding the scientific missions on funding and program cuts favoring manned missions over science missions. He went into some detail on this explanation and you will want to hear what he has to say about this issue. In his closing comments for the program, Robert returned to the theme of freedom, opposing government regulations for space flight and claiming that we need to be observant and supervisory over the government to minimize the control and regulation of this industry. Many related issues came up during this show, including changes in the American society, trading freedom for government security and more.
