Bill: The Space Act of 2438
Details
Submitted by[?]: 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō)
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2442
Description[?]:
The DSP, believing that while Sekowo should have a fully funded space program, total monopoly control over Space explorations in not a good thing, therefore we propose that private companies, that follow government safety regulations be allowed to operate independent space exploration and/or tourism firms. Secondly using the annual monetary amount that would have gone to the space operations that are now allowed to be privatized (with additional funding to cover the 5% needed), we propose building a deep space communications and observation system to both expand our knowledge o the Universe as well as set-up the backbone of a Solar System wide communications system for when the time comes that humanity spreads out and colonizes and explores the solar system and beyond. |
