Who is regulating commercial space travel?
- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has generally been given the job of overseeing the commercial space industry. But regulation of space is still relatively meager.
- One of the biggest areas of concern is licensing launches and making sure that space flights don’t end up hitting all the other flying vehicles humans launch into the sky, like planes and drones.
- There’s a lot that still needs to be worked out, especially as there are more of these launches.
- In the meantime, no government agency is currently vetting these companies when it comes to the safety of the human passengers aboard.
- There doesn’t seem to be an abundance of travelers’ insurance policies for space.
