Talk to Congress about Commercial Human Spaceflight

h (Rand Simberg) made the phosphor on my
monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:

I've put up a blog post with a preliminary analysis of the proposed
legislation (and taken the liberty of incorporating David's
comments--I trust he'll tell me if that's a problem).

I've got some follow-up thoughts there now.

On rereading (and after talking about it to a couple people this
weekend at the Space Frontier Conference, including Jim Muncy and Jay
Garvin of AST), I'm much less concerned now about the medical and
training standards issue, and I've summarized the pertinent effects of
the legislation. In short, while it could possibly be improved with a
little more explicitness, I support the legislation, and consider it a
major step forward from the current situation.
