I need to know what the positions of both Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale are concerning the space program. I already have a general impression of what they might be, but I need a policy statement of some kind with specific information concerning the shuttle, interplanetary and scientific missions, involvement of private industry, support of NASA funding, and so on. I can't find anything on Mondale's position, so if anyone out there has any idea, please pass it on. Thanks in advance, Phil Neudeck Purdue EE

There is an article in this months DISCOVERY magazine that discusses the candidates position on science programs.

Gary Hudson, one of the more notable names in private-launcher development, talked about his current plans at the Worldcon last week. In response to a question from the floor, he said (roughly) that the Reagan administration has done an awful lot to cut red tape for private space ventures, and that the Democrats have been unfriendly at best. You might want to consider this when deciding who to vote for. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
