| Message | We totally disagree with that. If the government should start to allow the existence of private space-exploration companies we think it should be heavy regulated to avoid any attempts on our national security. |

| Message | We feel that the possibility of any private space-exploration company becoming a threat to our national security is close to zero. After all, companies will require a permit before conducting operations in space. |

| Message | Well I still think this bill needs more debate. I would like to hear the opinion of the major parties about this issue before voting. For now I`m going to abstain from voting. |

| Message | We feel that this bill offers no immediate danger, but eventually chinks will be found in our armour, then we could very well have a national emergency on our hands. Due to the potential dangers of this bill i'm afraid i do not agree. |
