Be sure to see the article "Space Science, Space Technology and the Space Station," by James A. Van Allen in the January 1986 Scientific American. The abstract reads: "The space-station program will seriously diminish the opportunities for advancing space science and technology if it proceeds as planned. Most national goals in space are better realized by robot spacecraft." I suggest that all those who wish to comment on the article read it first. Phil
