Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed a bill regarding spaceflight on Thursday just one day after he announced his presidential run in a glitch-filled interview with Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces.
DeSantis signed into law CS/SB 1318 – Spaceflight Entity Liability along with 27 other bills. The law exempts “spaceflight entity from liability for injury to or death of a crew resulting from spaceflight activities under certain circumstances.” The measure also requires “a spaceflight entity to have a crew sign a specified warning statement.”
Florida is a known launching point for SpaceX aircrafts, and the new law could potentially shield Musk and other space flight companies from being sued for accidents that injure or kill crew members.
The law specifies a “spaceflight entity” as a “public or private entity holding a United States Federal Aviation Administration launch, reentry, operator, or launch site license for spaceflight activities or which is otherwise authorized by the United States Government to conduct spaceflight activities.”

Even though I like the men involved I say this.
I see the quid-pro-quo is already kicking in, very interesting.
Musk supports DeSantis. This looks like a tit for tat sort of thing.
The twitter thing makes more sense now.
Shit! People who get on rockets can have a case at all if they end up dead? Who knew!?
Bad optics.
even after twitters “glitches” during his announcement (that wasn’t very impressive)?
Rolling Stone magazine. Consider the source. Making it look like DeSantis and Musk contrived the bill together. The list of 27 bills introduced by either the FL Senate or FL House during the 2023 session, and signed into law by Governor DeSantis May 25:

First, this is the execrable Yahoo commies quoting the vile commies at Rolling Stone. Can we pause here and call this entire article commie BS?

It's going to be a bumpy ride to 2024. Earlier today, I saw a Freeper quoting an activist tranny to try to dunk on Desantis.
Musk’s investment is already paying dividends. Musk makes his preference known and look at his return. I make my preference known by sending my $100 and I get MAGA as a return for my grandchildren.
No one should have special exemptions from laws that affect everyone else.
So silly. The law was passed by the legislature before the Twitter announcement was even planned, and this was just one bill out of about 20 Desantis signed that day. This is a sign of growing desperation on the part of the MSM and Trump supporters. Do you even really know what the bill says, or are you just grasping any chance to sling mud?
That’s cozy.
Everything I have ever written about Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop is true, even if it takes a little longer for the more complex details about the data processing, govt subsidies and the DHS financial side of the operation to surface. The DHS, ODNI and FBI control elements were proven in the Twitter Files before the lawyers shut down the pertinent line of inquiry. That horse left the barn as everyone stood jaw-agape. The second aspect, the financial side of the operation, remains more elusive – but slowly even the biggest tech detractors are coming around to the realization.
Into this foray came the question of whether or not Musk knew about it. A debate on these pages took place. In the background, unbeknownst to the general public, the tech insiders within the rebel alliance had formulated a thesis about the takeover. The key part of their overlaid thesis was a timeline of sorts, showing the rise of Truth Social – and the partnerships therein (Rumble) – contrast against the entry of Musk into the coffee shop and the official DHS position about TikTok, – another competitor.
Was the Musk intervention timed to coincide with a rise in strategic competition against the interests of DHS? Go back and look at the timeline and decide for yourself. It is certainly suspicious when contrast against the ‘new features‘ being advanced within the coffee shop business model.
Regardless, if you overlay the recent Musk decisions, and then overlay the deployed alignment of the Musk enterprise and DeSantis presidential launch, you can make a solid argument the Trillions at Stake group, the collaboration between govt, billionaire multinationals and Big Tech, have a multi-faceted approach to control public information in advance of the 2024 election.
Subtle like a brick through a window:
Fingers placed. Scales tipped. Interests aligned.
You are going to hear me continue repeating this, and you might get sick of it, but always ‘Trust Your Instincts’. If you are grounded in the truthful world, the pretending doesn’t work against you.
May 25, 2023 – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Thursday providing additional liability protections for public and private space companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. Presidential hopeful DeSantis signed the bill one day after announcing his candidacy on a Twitter Spaces session hosted by Musk.
DeSantis approved CS/SB 1318 — Spaceflight Entity Liability and 27 other bills Thursday. The law provides liability immunity to a spaceflight entity “for an injury or death of spaceflight participant or crew resulting from a spaceflight activity,” under certain circumstances. The bill requires space companies provide a warning statement for crew members to sign. (more)
We are about to see exactly how the billionaire corporate funders control the Red State operations and manufacture the ‘illusion of choice‘. The difference between now and the Romney era of 2012 – through the Bush era of 2016, is that the American electorate are eyes-wide-open. We are watching the assembly in real time, and once again at CTH we have no financial affiliation to influence our sunlight. The gang might be getting back together, but The Truth Has No Agenda.
Remember, GOPe politics is all about money, not ideology. The ideological framework of Republican politics is a false front. ‘Social issues’ are used as the illusion inside the theater keeping the audience entertained and distracted, while the directors who create the performances take loot out the back door.
Once you understand the real baseline of corporation run party politics inside the USA, all of the moves – past and present – make sense, and the ‘ah-ha’ moments just keep flooding in. {GO DEEP}
The boardroom of the Democrat private corporation (DNC) wants power. The boardroom of the Republican private corporation (RNC) wants money. The Democrats use money to get power, ultimately control over people; the Republicans use power to get money, whatever happens to the people is irrelevant.
The DNC wants fundamental change; the RNC wants to be paid and control wealth while it happens.
The core issue to understand Republican politics is to look at how the people in control, the billionaires and multinational corporations, position for wealth. This is why/how the DNC can weaponize voting systems (outcomes), while the RNC accept it and position to be paid off while voting fraud takes place.
The person with the greatest opportunity to defeat the schemes of the corrupt political elite, is the person you see in the mirror every day when you brush your teeth. There are more of us, than them – united we cannot be defeated.
There is a great MAGA insurgency taking place at the state level, and that is also visible in the endorsements. However, the systems – not people, systems – which operate the business end of Republican politics at a state and federal level, are still under the control of the RNC as a private corporation. Don’t look for MAGA support from the institutions until we have MAGA people in charge of them.
Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never go back to that moment in the performance when you did not see them. While we have awakened many people to the ‘illusion of choice’ system by predicting the moves in advance, the enemy is cunning, and they know how to weaponize the feeling of desperation.
We are in an abusive relationship with our government, and that cycle of abuse is truly created by the background financial institutions who control our government.
Rod DeSactus should’ve sealed the record of this signing… 😏
He could have refused to sign it. But he didn’t Trust me, we are not desperate, worried or concerned. But nice try.
This is a common sense exception.
Historically this sort of exploration is exceedingly dangerous. We didn’t get oceanic travel or aircraft without high casualties. These days a shipping or aircraft disaster is a very rare event, vs the vast number of all the voyages that proceed without incident.
Consider the “Age of Discovery”.
Magellans voyage for instance suffered a fatality rate of 66% (90 out of 270 survived) Some men returned from Portuguese captivity, etc., besides those who completed the voyage with Elcano. Magellans voyage was actually successful. Other expeditions simply disappeared. The trans-Pacific Manila galleons regularly suffered crew and passenger casualty rates over 50%. Figuring out oceanic voyaging was, for centuries, enormously costly in human lives.
These days the life of a merchant seaman in the trans Pacific trade is a challenging but certain career. One can expect to survive any voyage with a probability of 99.99%
Modern liability laws assume that all is known and risks are exceptional. Liability only works if failure is rare.
But at the edge of the possible risks are unknown and danger is likely to be extreme.
