Sitting in an office adorned with model spaceships, he argues that the proposed Texas spaceport would neither depend on federal money nor require the use of federal air space, two factors he believes will entice aerospace companies that want to minimise bureaucracy.
Mr. JOHN GRAHAM (Smithsonian Air and Space Museum): And we're on a very tight time line, and the reason for that is we need to get to the base of the next hill to the south, which has got north-facing slopes, so that we can get up and basically repeat what we did last winter on Husband Hill: turn the solar panels towards the sun and survive.

But America's fears are economic as well as military: it suspects that the EU might try, for instance, requiring aircraft entering its air space to use Galileo-based navigation systems, to the detriment of American firms with products based on GPS. And European countries, China and the like might develop weapons that are compatible with Galileo rather than GPS, which would mean American defence firms losing a competitive advantage.
