“The budget proposal is functional first step to begin internalizing the externalities wrought from private space flight—the short-term costs are unquestionably most evident in air traffic control. Using the internalization of that cost as a wedge to pursue broader policy initiatives that ensure the ongoing low-Earth congestion caused by increased satellite deployment is calculated and compensated for is a long-term solution.”

"Today, #Republican senators are trying to kill the legislation...
Some worry about handing President #Biden a win so close to the #election (I’d argue the 400,000 kids lifted out of poverty would be the real winners, but to each their own.)
