Entering the new space age: The White House wants upward of 1,000 rocket launches and re-entries per year in the U.S. by 2030 and has unveiled a new policy initiative to this effect.
"The new policy puts greater emphasis on developing additional locations for rockets to launch from and for spacecraft to land. It also calls for plans on how to integrate management of space traffic with air traffic control, and how to enable launches within 48 hours of high-priority civil and national security missions," reports The New York Times. The policy "calls for more commercial involvement in efforts to reach the moon and Mars" and talks about companies more easily "selling American capabilities to other countries."
