From: Robert Amsler <AMSLER@SRI-AI.ARPA> I think the person selected should be someone who has a proven track record of producing scientific information for the masses. Asimov would be a second, maybe some of the press science reporters such as Walter Sullivan. Arthur C. Clarke? -------

...maybe we could have Carl Sagan as shuttle cargo? I mean, a "getaway special" should be cheap enough if we all contribute. I just put my $.02 in. -- "The soapbox of Gene Spafford" Spaf @ GATech (CS Net) Spaf.GATech @ UDel-Relay (ARPA) School of ICS ...!{sb1, allegra}!gatech!spaf (uucp) Georgia Tech ...!duke!mcnc!msdc!gatech!spaf Atlanta, GA 30332

But only from a Star Wars movie do we learn about sound travel and fireballs in vacuum! The best aspect of COSMOS (to my way of thinking) IS the dramatization; I especially enjoyed the primordial organic molecule generation sequence done to the tune of a Mahler symphony. -- Chuck Forsberg, Chief Engr, Computer Development Inc. 6700 S.

That's a *great* idea!! The space shuttle could use Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clark as fuel also.

The space shuttle could use Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clark as fuel also. I think this whole set of message from you and others suggesting presently-living human beings be used as fuel, is really sick. Please cease that. There are other more humane and intelligent ways to say you think sending a particular person to space will be counter-productive, and to explain why you think so. Please do that instead.
