A few words from Marion C. Blakey

    After visiting Mojave airport, FAA Commissioner Blakey said, "there is 
a reality here (in the entrepreneurial space companies) that I did not 
fully appreciate until I saw the kind of work that's being done by very 
smart people who are devoting very considerable resources to it, and I 
think that puts an obligation on us to devote the resources that are 
necessary to support, enable, and protect" the industry.
