SUMMARY: “The FAA is establishing requirements for human space flight as required by the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004,
including rules on crew qualifications and training, and informed
consent for crew and space flight participants. The requirements should provide an acceptable level of safety to the general public and ensure individuals on board are aware of the risks associated with a launch or reentry. The rule also applies existing financial responsibility and waiver of liability requirements to human space flight and experimental permits. Experimental permits are the subject of a separate rulemaking.” [Federal Register: December 15, 2006 (Volume 71, Number 241)][Rules and Regulations][Page 75615-75645]
