Now, scientists have made great progress in helping us reach, explore, and even briefly inhabit the harsh domain above us. But the rest of us are slower to follow or even understand where the scientists are enabling us to travel.

The Space Agency is about 70 years old. That should tell us something. Space is in danger of becoming wild, wild west. From their testimony from State Department experts are giving up on lawabiding rules of based space and settle for something less like Suggestion Space Base or even hintbased space. Perhaps thats the best we can do. I think we should try harder or better. Cant we agree on Space Traffic Management on the size of safety zones around satellites or capsules to ban debris or to have compatible docking lodges. I look forward to discussion with witnesses. Thank you mr. Chairman. I want to thank you, Chairman Castro and ranking member. Additionally i want to thank our witnesses for joining us today to discuss this important issue.
