| Message | #6 would create the Telamonian space agency, a government funded organization that promotes research and development of technologies that can help us in space. It will also oversee where and when satallite launches can take place, and will issue no fly zones around the areas where these will take place. The TSA will also advise the government on international matters regarding space exploration. |
