| Message | What about unsuccessful attemps and killings of people? Government is partly responsible for keeping space programs out of reach of people otherwise parts could fall down killing people etc, Against |

| Message | This doesn't mean we can't blow people out of the sky who are trying to kill us, it just means everyone can have a shot is they have enough money. |

| Message | I think here both sides have good arguments. I'd say we should in the first place make sure we don't run behind other countries. This is an important field of research. So, we only support regulation if other countries don't leave it unregulated. |

| Message | You can't have just anyone going into space... Who has the most money isn't the best way of deciding things. If it is regulated, it means we can check what these people are doing in space. |
| Date | 17:18:55, June 26, 2005 CET | From | Social Conservative Party | To | Debating the Fairness Reform Act III |
| Message | And if you regulate, also the "poorer" companies are able to explore space? Of course not. Permits won't help them. On the contrary, the government could ask money for handing out permits and thus making exploration even more expensive. |

| Message | This is the option the people want, may I remind you. |

| Message | Explain? |
| Date | 19:06:14, June 27, 2005 CET | From | Social Conservative Party | To | Debating the Fairness Reform Act III |
| Message | I suppose there was a poll about this. But I'm waiting for the results of the investigation by the minister. That will be the decisive factor for me. |
