| Message | We disagree with this bill, the BLP seems to be under the impression the businesses are benign and charitable and can be trusted to work in the best interests of everyone. Businesses only act for themselves |

| Message | I see no problem with a lack of regulation in this area. If companies want to send their own astronauts into space, let them. |

| Message | If the government ran a space agency it would also increase employment. If a fantastic opportunity was discovered in space that could help mankind a business would want to sell it, the government would just want to let people use it |

| Message | As I said on the other space bill, I have come to a conclusion. Since I believe that this is too expensive for the state to proceed on its own, I support deregulating space travel. |
