US can deny "space exploration"

So now the american government can tell who can and can't go to space. Give me a break.

I find this interesting because in a couple of years high altitude flights towards the of our stratophere is going to be commond.

First word to come to my mind when reading this, "control".

Well dude you got a world based on fear so what do you expect?

With China taking it's first steps into space I think the gov't just wants to assert itself on that front. I don't think any of the "axis of evil" have the money or know how to get involved in space at this point.
