...added importance for Broadbent because it came on the heels of his loss to intercollegiate No. 7 Ryan Donegan at Dartmouth on Thursday. Evidently, that match only served to refocus Broadbent, who talked to co-captain Ziggy Whitman on the bus ride back from Dartmouth...

The FAA is now charged with issuing launch licenses and could impose tough restrictions on private trips, in part to minimize its own potential liability. "Even if people accept the risks, our government will be regulating private space travel...
