The question for this week discussion is Do you think Space Policy Directive 2 will make Space Policy Directive 1 easier to reach? Why or why not?

To answer this question let’s look at the directives first Space Policy Directive 1. Space Policy Directive 1 "calls for the NASA administrator to "lead an innovative and sustainable program of exploration with commercial and international partners to enable human expansion across the solar system and to bring back to Earth new knowledge and opportunities" (Wang, 2018). Space Policy Directive 2 "instructs the secretary of transportation to devise a new regulatory regime for launch and re-entry activities, and to consider requiring just a single license for all such commercial operations" (Wall, 2018). If I am to understand this correctly Space Policy Directive 2 would make Space Policy Directive 1 easier to reach because, the Directive 1 is be in with commercial and international partners. While directive 2 makes it easier for commercial companies like Space X to get a license to operate in outer space which can go to helping put more people on the moon.
