| Message | I see nothing wrong with the Internarional Space Agency. It allows us all to advance space-related research and development, while also allowing us great freedom and sovereignty over our space programs. |

| Message | The treaty requires government involvement in private space exploration. "The government shall operate a space agency that contracts with and oversees private space-exploration companies." or "The government shall fully fund a state-owned space agency which controls all national space-related activity." are the only options it gives signatories. |
| Date | 08:27:45, July 27, 2017 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Independence From the So Called International Space Agency Act of 4247 |
| Message | The first option is reasonable. Space exploration is an industry that should have government involvement, but simply for oversight, as any other function would be wasteful. I still support private space exploration and less government, but a space agency simply for oversight is harmless. |
