Spacecraft propulsion is the area needing expansion of capabilities over the next several years. The capability for lofting large payloads (up to one-quarter million pounds) into space is virtually in hand. The ability to transport payloads and men in the space arena, to conduct rendezvous maneuvers, and to orbit and land on the planets, as well as the moon, now needs implementation in better and more efficient machinery. Transporting men to the planets is feasible with systems already demonstrated. Their development is a matter of decision, investment, and time.
