uh? How is a satellite launch a threat to public safety?

Rockets can blow up, or fall on children, and other living things. Or are you unfamiliar with rocketry?

What right does the government have to regulate aircraft?

[Backing away slowly...]

Ask the FAA. They do it 24/7.

So can automobiles. Or any ballistic projectile. This has much less to do with rocketry than with government presumption.

That they do it does not mean they SHOULD or have a RIGHT to do it.

Apprently you are of the school that believes that what is is right, and that the government has the right to regulate whatever it decides it has the right to regulate.

I'm more inclined to question that presumption.

Sure they do. But I'm asking YOU. Where do they get the right?
