its int the body of the above link, but how fucking ridiculous can you get
"New Mexico-based Virgin Galactic, which now expects to fly its first paying customers in 2013, was told by the U.S. government that the company may fly non-U.S. citizens to the edge of space without first obtaining an export license from the State Department."
"Sundahl said that without this determination from State, allowing a non-U.S. citizen to ride in a Virgin spacecraft ? or even training a non-U.S. citizen to do so ? would legally have been an export activity that required federal approval."
