NASA director says space

Space is an adolescent nearing
young adulthood, said Gerald D.
GriHin, director of Johnson Space
Center in Houston,
fcriffin’s Friday speech, “Design
pace: Challenge of the Future”
part of the University Lecture
;ies at Texas A&M.
(Jriffin said there are four broad
' Eop 0t;periods of designs in space: the past,

far«range future.

to see if man could survive in space,”
Griffin said.
The next project, Gemini, in the
mid ’60s, had three main objectives,
he said.
“We wanted to see if there could
be a rendezvous in space, if there
was a possibility for an astronaut to
go outside the spacecraft and if we
could keep men in space for the du
ration of going to the moon,” he
said.
“Our next project was Apollo, and
its purpose was to send men to the
moon.”
The lastest endeavor was Skylab
in the ’70s, Griffin said.
“What we wanted to see was if we
could keep a lab in space for a short
duration of time,” he said. “The

and it’s hard to keep them (pris

County Sheriff Robert Harris.
Matysai was being held in con
nection with the strangulation of
Patricia Ann Massey, a 48-year-
old Terrell service station opera
tor. Massey was working at the
station in June when she and her
car were reported missing, along
with $400 from the station’s safe.

longest it was up in space was 84
days.”
The shuttle, which will have its
21st launch Thursday, gives access
to low earth orbit that has not been
possible before, he said.
“We now have all four shuttle or-
biters in the field,” he said. “The
flight Thursday will be the first
flight for the fourth orbiter, the At
lantis. Our next step beyond the
shuttle is a permanantly manned
space station.
“What we are looking for in the
space station is high productivity,
people who can stay in space for up
to 90 days and possibly six months.”
The space station also could bring
together international partners
working together to get the program
off the ground, he said.
“The Europeans, the Canadians
and the Japanese could all play an
important role in the space station
before everything is done,” Griffin
said.
“Having this many countries
working together on such a big pro
ject could be a really big challenge,”
he said.
When speaking of the long range
future, Griffin said that going past
the moon is a very reachable goal.
“If you can go to the moon and es
tablish a launch and landing capabil
ity, you can then really explore the
whole solar system at a very low en
ergy requirement,” he said.
