U.S. Transportation Secretary and acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy joined President Donald J. Trump at the White House Wednesday for the historic signing of the Executive Order (EO), \u201cEnabling Competition in the Commercial Space Industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople think the Department of Transportation (DOT) is just planes, trains, and automobiles \u2013 but we have a critical role to play in unlocking the final frontier.
