A video showing a mob assault a woman in Tahrir Square and a policemans struggle to save her has been circulating on the internet. How would you work with the Egyptian Government to insure the prevention and prosecution of Sexual Assault .

And they need to do everything they can to insure women are safe in the afterhath of this incident. We

Real also believe very strongly there are steps that need to be taken in order to address the safety, not just of the general public, but the employees who work for these diseases. There is no question that when youre dealing with an aging infrastructure and the needs that are required to maintain that infrastructure, employees will be working in Hazardous Conditions that can make for an unsafe situation, but there are steps that the Transit Agency has taken. I know from my own experience we focus closely on making sure that our operators have appropriate training, tools, protocols and place to map the safety of these employees. But the reality is, as long as it will take to fix this problem will require more workers to work environments where it could be a more dangerous situation that if it were invested in good repair. Well, thank you for

So what are we doing to make space travel safe from orbital debris . Today a number of Government Agencies have a role in orbital debris mitigation. Three of those agencies are represented on the panel today. The dod Strategic Command is responsible for tracking orbital debris. The fcc has jurisdiction for mitigating orbital debris from satellites and faa office of commercial space transportation regulates orbital debris from commercially licensed launch and reentry vehicles however what is an quite clear is which agencies have or could have legitimate roles and space Traffic Management. That is the authority to tell a space operator to move a spacecraft to show the potential for collision from debris or another spacecraft require it. Other questions also come to mind. Should space Traffic Management be carried out by one or more existing agencies or perhaps buy a new organization . What needs to happen for the information on space debris in potential collisions to get to the people wh
