For reasons which are to detailed to go into here, I would like to conduct
a survey on the net regarding what each of you feels are/will be the most
significant achievements relating to mankind's efforts to explore and develop
space. I am interested not only in those accomplishments directly related to
space, but any development in any discipline which has contibuted to these
efforts. Responses should however, be restricted to a time period beginning
around 1900 A.D. and extending as far into the future as you like. Projections
for the future should be based on some logical extrapolation of current
technology or theory (no science fiction please) and if highly speculative,
the development path from current science should be described. Last of all,
(naturally) responses should be E-mailed to me personally rather than put on the
net. After I have received and analyzed the responses, it is my intent to
put the results of the survey (i.e. the accomplishments that are generally felt
by the majority to be the most significant) on the net. Maybe we'll even get
one of two good topics of serious concern to space out of it, rather than
some of the political and linguistic drivel (Flame expected) like "manned vs.
femmed" or what "CBS should be doing" that seems to have permeated the
net in the last couple of months. Your responses will be greatly appreciated.
