HR 1275 RFS
(3) The United States is on the verge of creat-
ing and using new technologies in microsatellites, in-
formation processing, and space launches that could
radically alter the manner in which the Federal Gov-
ernment approaches its space mission.
(4) The overwhelming preponderance of the
Federal Government’s requirements for routine, non-
emergency manned and unmanned space transpor-
tation can be met most effectively, efficiently, and
economically by a free and competitive market in
privately developed and operated space transpor-
tation services.
(5) In formulating a national space transpor-
tation service policy, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration should aggressively promote
the pursuit by commercial providers of development
of advanced space transportation technologies in-
cluding reusable space vehicles, single-stage-to-orbit
vehicles, and human space systems.
(6) The Federal Government should invest in
the types of research and innovative technology in
which United States commercial providers do not in-
vest, while avoiding competition with the activities in
which United States commercial providers do invest.
