Space operators' Licences

"The flight also collected data needed for the company to obtain its FAA commercial reusable spacecraft operator’s license"

I suppose it's a sign that space travel is maturing that we now have a commercial reusable spacecraft operator's licence. I recall the good old days when teenagers were free to build an antigrav device in their bedroom and set out for Mars in a well insulated tea chest.(Welcome to Mars, James Blish, 1965)
