[net.astro] Pro-space Questions

fred@inuxc.UUCP (Fred Mendenhall) (10/27/84)

	I use to know these facts a few years ago but I'm
wondering if anyone has some solid, more up-to-date, data.

	1. What is the estimated size of the pro-space
	   movement?
	
	2. What is the size of L5 society?
	
	3. What is the size of the Planetary Society?
	
	4. What is the size of the SSI?
	
	The reason I'm asking is that the Planetary Society
has been coming out with negative responses to the space station,
i.e. space station funding is undercutting the planetary exploration.
I'm not interested in entering that argument here, but I am concerned
about the division this issue is likely to cause in the pro-space
community and its political impact. 

				Thanks
