摘要

The current liability regime governing SFP safety is not sustainable in the long run. Shifting almost all the financial risks of an accident to the SFP leaves passengers to bear the cost of the industry's development. Setting aside any moral consideration about whether this distribution of risk is fair and equitable, it raises serious practical concerns for an industry that requires public support to survive. Congress should remove the SFP-operator cross-waiver mandate as a condition of operator launch licenses as soon as possible. This would give states more flexibility to apply the negligence regimes that are well developed for other forms of transportation to the commercial space industry. To avoid the potential for intractable litigation over conflicting federal and state liability regimes, Congress should amend the Act before the first SFPs travel to space. If the bureaucratic realities of the legislative process make changes in the short term infeasible, Congress should let the SFP-related liability requirements expire in 2025. The commercial space industry's rapid developments however make it likely that the first private passengers will travel to space well before 2025. If Congress fails to reform the liability regime before the first SFPs travel to space, the industry and its passengers must hope they beat the odds that a fatal accident will not occur during this period of regulatory uncertainty.
