New discoveries will astound us. We will discover intelligent life on other planets, and evolution will be confirmed—with unsettling implications for certain religions. We will confirm how our universe originated. Developments on Earth and on our moon will inhibit the “Man on Mars” program (causing its cancellation). Before this century ends, we will have developed spectacular new means of “transport” exceeding the speed of light. Imagine dispatching probes into the cosmos at many times the speed of light! Instrumented satellites to orbit other bodies will penetrate light-years into deep space and return the data well within the lives and careers of cosmic scientists.
Space exploration will continue to suffer priority and budgetary restraints. The Challenger shuttle disaster of 1992 and the Columbia’s reentry disintegration in 2003 raised caution flags and fueled public doubts as to the wisdom of space exploration in view of the many unfulfilled needs on Earth. Since NASA admitted that it “played Russian Roulette with the lives of the astronauts,” neglecting deficiencies in monitoring its shuttles’ heat shields (and discovered some sabotage), much public support was lost. Nevertheless, ignoring burgeoning budget deficits, the US president proposed two new, expensive space projects, one to build a permanently manned space station on our moon and another to land a man on Mars. The moon station makes sense.
