| Message | These are two entirely different proposals and should not be included within the same bill. Nevertheless, the current space policy has government ownership over the space industry through a nationally supported space agency. This agency is then able to tender contacts and work with private companies when it is necessary. This change would increase costs to such a high degree that the only way that it could be fully funded and maintain any form of operational ability would be to remove all government expenditure from all areas of the budget and concentrate it solely on the one agency. This would be a poor and impossibly expensive move which would garner no improvement in either the exploration of space nor improvement in quality of said exploration. |

| Message | Vehement oppostion to the first two articles. Pero me gusta articulo number tres. Most religions make a distinction between the secular behavior and government behavior. The government has no right to intervene in religious affairs! Give to the Emperor what is the Emperor's; give to God what is God's (Matt. 22:15-21) And also, this bill should be split so as to avoid messing up of our politics. |
