Actually I am surprised they made the data available to such a wide group
of people. I don't see that continuing. I also think at some future time
the data will eventful be restricted to people or companies with a
"justifiable" need for the data and that access will be at a cost. The US
Space Command is typically not in the "as a public service" business, that
and the fact that the Aerospace Corp is running the website. There is a
reason they took it away from NASAs control.
