No one in authority could have been saying no because THERE WAS NO AUTHORITY!!! By your very own words

Wrong. Post my own words that said there was no authority. I dare you. And call off the personal insults.

To start treating launchers as a transportation system is a whole new paradigm that is long overdue.

Your very own words. If this development is "a whole new paradigm" and that paradigm entails governmental regulation, then how could the old paradigm have entailed governmental regulation?

If the old paradigm DID entail regulation, by whom? And under what constitutional authority? You see, just because the government assumes (with support from such bovines as yourself) that it has the right to regulate every form of commerce, that regulation is not necessarily defensible constitutionally. Sometimes -- often -- it is wise to demand some justification for the expansion of bureaucratic power. That's all I'm doing.

And I'll call off the personal insults when you retract your "intellectual prowess" and "spewing ignorance" slurs.
