FAA Space Flight requirements for Crew and Flight Participants
The FAA released a bunch of new regulations for Human Space Travel departing from the United States. I wonder what sort of impact this will have on the budding commercial space tourism industry?
SUMMARY: The FAA is establishing requirements for human space flight as required by the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004, including rules on crew qualifications and training, and informed consent for crew and space flight participants. The requirements should provide an acceptable level of safety to the general public and ensure individuals on board are aware of the risks associated with a launch or reentry. The rule also applies existing financial responsibility and waiver of liability requirements to human space flight and experimental permits. Experimental permits are the subject of a separate rulemaking.
