video cameras know about it by dialing the new jersey network news tip line eight hundred jersey one day you are relying on it's

been a major new study of america's space program recommends ending the nation's reliance on space shuttles and building new on and rockets that recommendation is being hailed as a new jersey based institute that coordinates space research michael aron as more intimate special site the columbia shuttle mission ended late last night in california after problems with weather and plumbing ironically a few hours earlier a twelve member blue ribbon national task for setting issued a report calling for the us to stop building space shuttles after the sixth one is completed and start building new unmanned rocket at the space studies institute a research clearinghouse founded by princeton space expert gerard o'neill and devoted the harvesting the resources of outer space for us here on earth brick fort with welcome news one of the most important suggestions is the recommendation that we develop a heavy lift launch capability that is a space truck now some

people have talk about the space shuttle was being a space truck but really it's sort of a hybrid of a year passenger van in a station wagon passenger van and a pickup truck it's not optimized just take people into space oh that's what it does best it has become the way in the back which has taken cargo into space but what this commission said is that we don't necessarily need to get people all on when all we're putting in a space is cargo flight when their neck talk about fargo he watches communication satellites but also tools and materials to do useful things in space such as well we believe that as a sign that the most useful thing that we could do in space is used the unusual properties of space particularly those very strong solar energy that's there and collect that energy and transmit it to the surface of the earth

and that's a large scale project it requires building structures which are miles on a side in our form of a very flimsy structures compared their standards but and there are ways to do it without lifting a lot of material from the earth but you need to want some large scale cargos and it would be nice to have a vehicle it's just right for doing that man acts as a solar collector filtering energy back to earth could be just a quarter of a century away twenty five years yes the report also recommends that the plant's space station to three hundred miles above the earth's surface be constructed slowly building blocks tile over many year hers instead of right away and use not for commercial experimentation but for pure biological research it says that the real reason for having a space station right now is to learn how people can live in space for a long period of time and we believe that that's exactly right the report endorses president

bush's goal of having america lead the world in exploration of the solar system starting with more missions to the moon and mars but says the emphasis on manned missions have to be changed partly to save lives but even more to be efficient and smart it's not a question on whether or not to risk human lives in space clearly the authors of this report believe some former astronauts by the way fully understand the risks and say that indeed every time people fly in space that will be risks with the report does say is that don't want people and nations worried only people don't need people with truck drivers in space michael aaron new jersey network news rocky hill coming up the latest wind figures from atlantic city and students in camden come to the aid of a local aids hospice is bankrupt ms bishop gen dan sichel is a bit under the
