Eric Anderson, Chairman of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation said, "Yesterday marks a major milestone for the Commercial Spaceflight Federation.  Two of the Federation's objectives are to 'promote the development of commercial human spaceflight' and 'pursue ever-higher levels of safety'.  Congress's action this week will accomplish both of these objectives by allowing the FAA to continue a wide range of regulatory activities and to act as a conduit for industry cooperation, while still enabling innovation and entrepreneurship.  This will help initiate a new wave of job creation and private investment in the industry."
