Space exploration seen
becoming big enterprise
es,
United Press International
J g r J NEW YORK — The exploration
space already is a multibillion dol-
enterprise but some well-
'ormed persons are starting to be-
_ve it soon will become a huge and
ible commercial industry.
Gerald E. Frick, a vice president
Marsh & McLennan, Inc., a
ijor insurance brokerage, pre-
:ted in a recent speech in London
outer space exploitation might
come a $30 billion a year industry
s s the end of this century,
ident P^ck said this figure woidd be the
tal for military and governmental
is of outer space facilities and
mercial uses such as data and
ilevision and radio transmission.
)0ut (( ‘Frick was addressing an audience
, n ; Df insurance people including more
,j , than 100 prominent European un
derwriters.
paratpi Frick said the space shuttle, or
pace Transportation System pro-
; gret am may include missions with a
of sue igh proportion of commercial users
/etfiel n board that will require as much
estingi 5 $100 million in insurance cover-
[e for the shuttle portion of the
oteclii mission. At present, the total insur-
is a sail ce coverage available in the world
r US e; tarket for a space launch is limited
,ears a! about $50 million,
testini Frick said if business for commer-
al and government account does
earcH ‘ach a global volume of $30 billion
;ar Cat 'year, “this would require a lot of
paratfi surance, much of it probably in
itsofro pes of policies not yet developed.”
withtli Space operation insurance al-
|ady has come a long way, Frick
g S afc) lid. When the first telecommunica-
laraq© Dns satellite, the Early Bird, was
lunched in 1965, insurance was
ase Cu Vailable only for the pre-launch op-
: has: erations from companies engaged in
lungt Writing avaiation policies.
Marsh & McLennan got into the
space insurance business early,
working with various companies to
provide coverage for the Intelsat III
series in 1968. In 1975, the com
pany wrote a three-year policy to in
sure the active life of three RCA
satellites orbiting the earth.
In addition to the military and
communications operations of space
satellites that could produce profit
able insurable commercial opera
tions, Frick sees satellites becoming
important in solar energy, in ad
vance geological exploration for oil
and other resources, and to create
“space hospitals” with conditions
especially favorable for some kinds
of surgery such as spinal cord fusion.
Most exciting of all, Frick
envisions the possibility of substan
tial space industry early in the next
century.
Asked why he believes space
travel might become popular, Frick
said curiosity could cause people to
take “space vacations” even by the
end of this century.
And taking a cue from the science
fictioneers, he said “the earth has a
finite amount of living space, so if
science finds a way to make the sur
face of some of the planets habitable
for man, it is quite possible full-time
living colonies will be established
there to exploit mineral and other
potential wealth.”

to most checking customers.
If you’re a Bank of A&M checking customer, your service
charges are now computed on “average daily balance” rather
than the “minimum daily balance.” The computer schedule is
nearly the same. But the net effect of the difference could
save you $1.00 or $2.00 a month.
Not every customer will benefit (it depends on your account’s
balance during the month). In no case, however, will a
customer pay more service charges under this new system
than was assessed during the standard “minimum daily
balance” schedule.
If you’re a Bank of A&M customer, you may spend less money
on banking service than ever before. If you’re not a Bank of
A&M customer, here’s another reason to switch.
We’re more than a bank because you’re more than a
customer. That’s our slogan - and lower service charges is
one way to prove it.
