"Space, like the internet before the dot-com boom of the 1990s, was originally a government-run enterprise."

"There is no question that our commercial partners have a valuable role to play in our Nation's space flight and exploration in the coming years."

"The commercial space industry has been invaluable to our successes in the past, and the future continues to look very bright."

"I want to also thank Congressman Posey for working with me to introduce this important legislation and his support for commercial space."
