The report by M. S. Borbachev, General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, on November 27, 1985, to the session of the USSR Supreme Soviet mentioned a comprehensive program for peaceful collaboration in space and the prospects for the industrial exploitation of space in the interests of all humanity. This program is a peaceful alternative to the misanthropic plans for the militarization of space. It includes the conducting of basic research in space, the creation of global systems of communications satellites, the study of the climate and the environmnet, the development of the science of space materials and medicine, and the creation of new space technology, including orbital scientific stations and manned spacecraft. What can such a program give to humanity if it is realized in the course of the next 25 years of the space era. The answer to this question is considered.
