Description:
The opportunities provided by such near-earth space resources as the continuous view of the earth, sun, and stars, the presence of ultrahigh vacuum, and the absence of gravitational stress are briefly reviewed, along with the significance of manned observation and experimentation in near-earth space. The stimulation triggered in young minds by a week or summer in space, as the Apollo and Skylab experiences show, simply defies the imagination. The plea is made not to miss these opportunities.
