I just thought that some of the net.space readers who are not part of the USENET L5 network would find the following interesting. Fcc: L5 To: L5 Subject: Press Release: Scientists for a Manned Space Station Organization: USENET L5 network Status: R ************************************************************************* Scientists for a Manned Space Station --------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 30, 1984 Contact: Dr. Robert Jastrow (603) 646-3361 Joe Hopkins (206) 773-7984 In today's competitive world, the United States must depend more than ever on our scientific vision and our commitment to technological excellence. Therefore, after a decade of neglect, America needs to undertake major new investments in our civilian space enterprise. Many leading U.S. scientists support a bold new venture in space and see a manned space station as an essential first step towards any such effort. A partial listing of leading scientists who support a manned space station as a doorway to longer-term goals follows [affiliations listed only for identification purposes only.]: Prof. Paul Coleman President, Universities Space Research Association Earth and Space Sciences Dept., UCLA Dr. Robert Jastrow Earth Sciences Dept., Dartmouth College Former Director, Goddard Institute for Space Studies Dr. James Fletcher Former Administrator, NASA Prof. Gerard O'Neill Physics Dept., Princeton University Prof. Marvin Minsky Former Director, Artificial Intelligence Lab, MIT Dr. Peter Glaser Vice President, Arthur D.
