I oppose this bill because it will limit the ability of private companies to launch satellites into orbit, hindering technological advancements and innovation. It will also restrict access to space for smaller companies and startups, stifling competition and growth in the industry. Those who will be affected by this bill include entrepreneurs, scientists, and researchers who rely on satellite technology for their work.

I heard about this new bill, and I'm not really sure what to think about it. It's called the ORBITS Act of 2025, and it seems like it's going to have some impact on space stuff. I don't know all the details, but I'm not too thrilled about it. I feel like it might not be the best thing for me and my future. I hope it doesn't cause too many problems.
