The billionaires who blasted into space in recent weeks did so with style.\nBlue Origin's Jeff Bezos sported a cowboy hat after landing and Mr Richard Branson wore a blue Virgin Galactic jumpsuit he'd called \"sexy\".\nTo some of the world's leading experts in space-travel safety, something else stood out: Neither company equipped the passengers of their spacecraft with pressure suits to protect them from a rapid decompression outside Earth's atmosphere.\nSuch suits are required by Nasa and other nations as a result of hard-earned lessons from fatal accidents, but no such standards apply to the companies racing to commercialise space, including tourist flights.\nCongress has exempted such ventures in the US from any federal safety oversight for crews.\n\"The reality is when you go to space, you don't dress with nice stuff, you dress with the right stuff,\" said Mr Tommaso Sgobba, a former European Space Agency official who is executive director of the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety.\nThe success of two privately funded human-space launches last month has supercharged the US commercial launch industry, and advocates say the lack of rules is a key component to the rapid pace of innovation and should be extended.\nThe industry \"is in its early days, and more time is needed to have informed discussions on what regulatory framework should look like in the future to support human spaceflight\", Mr Mike Moses, president of space missions and safety at Virgin Galactic, told lawmakers at a hearing earlier this year.\nBut Mr Sgobba and others say it's time to end the restriction on government oversight of an enterprise that is notoriously risky.\nRockets are akin to giant bombs that have proved difficult to harness with high reliability, and the harsh environment of space leaves little margin for error.\nThere have been 379 human flights to space by the US since the early 1960s, four of which ended in fatal accidents, according to Mr George Nield, an industry consultant who directed the Federal Aviation Administration's office overseeing commercial launches for 10 years until 2018.\nThat means there was about a 1 per cent chance of failure.\nThe FAA scrutinises launch applications to ensure a mishap won't harm the public on the ground or in passing aircraft.\nAs part of that, it reviews the reliability of rockets and spacecraft, but Congress has forbidden the agency from establishing any rules to protect occupants.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":897979270,"gmtCreate":1628871365890,"gmtModify":1676529882915,"author":{"id":"3576151042223854","authorId":"3576151042223854","name":"Fayna","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/04ea830c5237c9a4406b40ae311461e8","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84859c65fc2d7681e28f6b8e9b0535a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3576151042223854","authorIdStr":"3576151042223854"},"htmlText":"You don't dress with nice stuff, you dress with the right stuff.
