Rep. Bridenstine Addresses Commercial Spaceflight Federation, February 2016

Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Oklahoma) spoke to the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF) on February 26, 2016.  He laid out a multipronged legislative agenda to advance commercial space.  He plans to introduce the American Space Renaissance Act later in the year that will address many of those issues, but he does not expect it to pass en toto.  Instead, he views it as a conversation piece and repository for “plug and play” provisions that can be inserted in other legislation, especially the FY2017 National Defense Authorization Act now in development.  SpacePolicyOnline.com published a summary of Bridenstine’s remarks on February 28, 2016.
