| Date | 04:35:31, December 30, 2005 CET | From | JLP Liberation Militia | To | Debating the Technological Freedom Act of 2163 - Space Exploration |
| Message | Addtionally, we believe this will fit nicely with the proposed Likotonian Scientific Advancement bill proposed by the Progressive Party. |
| Date | 04:38:32, December 30, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Technological Freedom Act of 2163 - Space Exploration |
| Message | We're willing to support Articles 1 and 3, but we'd have to vote no because of Article 2. We would like to see the bill split so hopefully Articles 1 and 3 would pass. |
| Date | 04:40:38, December 30, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Technological Freedom Act of 2163 - Space Exploration |
| Message | Actually, upon further review we only support Article 3. The subsidization of pharmaceutical research is still very worthy of Likatonian taxes. |

| Date | 15:27:04, December 30, 2005 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Technological Freedom Act of 2163 - Space Exploration |
| Message | The AAS opposes. While we do not oppose private concerns being involved in the 'space' industry, we believe the situation should be 'regulated' through one central (governmentally controlled) body. We see the current system as doing just that - allowing space exploration by private concerns, alongside governmentally orchestrated efforts, under the aegis of one governmentally coordinated umbrella. |
| Date | 21:38:17, December 31, 2005 CET | From | Likaton Fascist Front | To | Debating the Technological Freedom Act of 2163 - Space Exploration |
| Message | PSS is willing to support this change in the short term, until we can legislate to prohibit all space exploration. |
