| Date | 14:38:29, February 19, 2007 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Space Act |
| Message | We will not. There is no requirement to change the law as the description is exactly what we already operate. We have a National aeronautics organisation (HSA, or Hobrazian Space Agency I think it was) which contracts with private companies allowing them to operate in space. There is no need to change the law. We would also point out that we are not a federalised Country. We have no federal government. We are one Country under one government. |
