The American President Donald Trump Signed a Decree on Wednesday that makes legislation for Commercial Space Travel More Flexible. This makes it Easier for Companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX to Launch Rockets.
The US Department of Transportation Must Scrap or Accelerate Environmental Studies for Launch Permits, The White House Writes in A Statement. Trump also instructs the ministry to abandon “outdated, double or too strict rules” for launch vehicles. This Concerns legislation from the American Aviation Authority FAA.
Accordance to the President, the procedures for Obeying a Permit are “Inefficient” and Discourage Investment and Innovation. As a result, American Companies Have Less Room to “Play a Leading Role in the Global Space Travel Market.” New Companies would also have Fewer Opportunities Than Established Companies Due to the Long Procedures.
SpaceX is not mentioned by name in the decision, but the company is by far the largest player in the American space industry. Musk Has Often Complained about the faa’s legislation. Mandatory Environmental Reports and Investigations would have delayed the Tests of his Starship Rockets.
Billionaire Jeff Bezos, With His Space Company Blue Origin, Could also Benefit from the New Decision, Writes News Agency Reuters .
