Washington Governor Ferguson names SpaceX and Blue Origin to state space council
Original: Washington Gov. Ferguson enlists SpaceX, Blue Origin among space council members
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson has created a state space council and appointed SpaceX and Blue Origin among its members, formally tying two of the country's biggest commercial space companies into state policy-making. The move positions Washington, home to major aerospace operations, to compete more directly for the growing commercial space industry. Reactions so far focus on the state's push to keep and attract space-sector jobs and investment.
Why now: Ferguson's decision to give SpaceX and Blue Origin formal roles in state space policy is new and notable aerospace news.
