Executives from top U.S. space companies called for improvements to the Federal Aviation Administration during a Senate hearing on Wednesday.
Gerstenmaier emphasized that the FAA's commercial space office "needs at least twice the resources that they have today" for licensing rocket launches. While he acknowledged the FAA is "critical to enabling safe space transportation," Gerstenmaier added that the industry is "at a breaking point." "Keeping pace with industry demand is a priority and is important for several reasons, including meeting our national security and civil exploration needs. We're working diligently to attract, hire and retain additional staff," an FAA spokesperson told CNBC in a statement.
Wayne Monteith — a retired Air Force brigadier general who also led the FAA's space office — said that Congress should consider consolidating space regulations.
