Wraps. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. iii, [1], 184, [4] pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Panel of witnesses included: Daniel Goldin, Howard McCurdy, Eilene Galloway, Rick Tumlinson, and Charles Conrad. Chairman Rohrbacher opened the hearing by remarking, in part: Today is October 1, 1998, but we can also feel the spirit of October 1, 1958, and, perhaps, even that of October 1, 2038. I say this because today we are celebrating the past; we are assessing the present; and we are anticipating the future of America in space. Today, we will see through the eyes and the words of five leading authorities on where America can, should, and, perhaps, must go in space. And thanks to this brand new videoconferencing technology that's being demonstrated here today, we are actually looking the future in the face, and that will be part of our hearing. As we go on, we'll have Pete Conrad testifying from California through this technology. Today, we are beginning a national dialogue about the future of America's space program, and we need to bring the American people into this discussion, not just because we're spending their money, but because we're talking about their future and their children's future. . In the future, I envision space will be a frontier that is open to allâ"stockholders as well as scientists, educators as well as engineers, tourists as well as technicians. . Space must not simply be a government program of a wealthy Nation, but, instead, it should be the engine of new knowledge, prosperity, and peace that will strengthen our democracy, expand our economy, and spread our democratic values, opening horizons of human opportunity beyond the confines of planet Earth. There are so many new ideas and miraculous possibilities, and it's exciting to be part of this great endeavor, and it's exciting for me to be the Chairman of this Subcommittee at this pivotal moment.
