| Message | Having the space agency run by the state makes it inefficient and as such this proposal is a squandering of money. |

| Message | Now imagine that private companies find something really important out there: new resources on asteroids, another planets etc., legacies of intelligent or non-intelligent extraterrestrial life-forms, spying satellites and similar things from other nations etc. A private company won't necessarily inform the government about such things, whereas a state-owned agency would provide us with much more informations. The government should certainly know about discoveries like the ones mentioned above. And therefore it's necessary to change the law. |

| Date | 18:28:44, March 15, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Space exploration |
| Message | Absolutely not. The government should not be funding trips into space. This should be privately run, and the Right is Right Party shall propose a bill saying such. |
