Default Aldridge Commission supports property rights in space

Wow, I'm really starting to love these guys!

"The Commission recommends that Congress increase the potential for
commercial opportunities related to the national space exploration
vision by providing incentives for entrepreneurial investment in space,
by creating significant monetary prizes for the accomplishment of space
missions and/or technology developments and by assuring appropriate
property rights for those who seek to develop space resources and
infrastructure."

"The issue of private property rights in space is a complex one
involving national and international legal issues. However, it is
imperative that these issues be recognized and addressed at an early
stage in the implementation of the vision, otherwise there will be
little significant private sector activity associated with the
development of space resources, one of our key goals."
