@SpaceBenefit@Jackfly65631177@JimBridenstine The so-called American freedom is full of prejudice. And the visa problems are an obvious show of the US government's short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness
PJ Blount, @MansfieldFDN#USJapanSpaceForum: When we talk about STM at the national level we're only solving part of the problem. We need geopolitical trust and an int'l coordination system based on transparency, standardized practices, & trust (in the data and the legal system).
China's absence from an important global #space conference was a missed opportunity for collaboration, an American scientist said at the 2019 International Astronautical Congress (#IAC) on Wednesday.
On 70th IAC, some delegates proposed that a non-governmental third-party should be established as the governing body to better manage the STM regime, and it should identify the nature of the activity and divide it into civil or military so as to apply different management rules.
During 70th IAC, matters related to Space Traffic Management experienced an discussion. The majority of delegates argued that building up an international effective and efficient STM regime should involve all space nations rather than just some nations or a group of nations.
