The focus of the present book is on the variety of past and future human activities in space. NASA's response to the Challenger explosion is discussed and an overview is given of the agency's relations with foreign competitors in the 1980s. The practical uses of space are described with attention given to communications satellites, the orbital high ground (weather watching, spying, and SDI), earth science, and materials processing in space. Other topics include the exploration of the near and distant universe, and permanent stations in space and on the moon.
