Weekly space shuttles to check earth will begin by 1981, Hill says
The first flight of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) space shuttle program, whose mission will be to demonstrate the economic and practical advantages of near outer space missions. Thomas Hill, coordinator of the NASA Science and Education program, told about 100 engineering students Friday that the space shuttle program would consist of weekly manned space flights. The flights would include experiments with an astronaut weather conditions and conduct scientific experiments while in orbit, he said.
The uses of the space shuttle also include the launching, retrieving or repairing of equipment in the wake of a collision. Hill said the weekly space flights would begin sometime during 1980 or 1981 and would be based on data.
"It seems far out," Hill said, "but we have the technology to do that and more." He said steam turbines could be put into orbit which would use solar heat to generate
electricity that could be transmitted back to earth.
He said space colonies, each capable of sustaining 10,000 people, had been designed as an alternative for future generations to relieve the world's expanding population.
"We are definitely crawling out of the cradle." Hill said.
The space shuttle will consist of two stages, he said, a booster for launch from earth and an airplane-like, manned, rocket-like mission into orbit to conduct space missions.
Then the orbiter will flown to land at a conventionally sized airstrip.
Hill said that although the orbiter was designed for 100 flights, it would be capable of 50.
Hill, who is also a member of the faculty at California State University, offered four reasons for continuing space exploration: "I don't want to be gone; I can't be done any other place, to perform
missions such as monitoring pollution circulation which can be better done in space on earth and to provide a more economical alternative to operations such as global communication and weather forecasting, which have been founded by the earth's limitations.
Hill said another product of the space shuttle might be increased international cooperation through "mutual benefits from national and international payloads."
Although, the manned space program is currently in a "holding pattern," Hill said, he thinks space travel will "soon be as conventional as airplane travel."
He said he thought the next manned moon flight would be a joint effort between the NASA, ESRA (European Space Research Agency) and the Soviet Union.
"The future astronauts will be (like)
tuck drivers," Hill said, transporting
the spacecraft.

Complete Scientific Programmability from Hewlett-Packard for $30 less than ever before.
The HP-25: Just $165*
Think of the HP-25 as an electronic slide rule you can program completely The reason: It solves repetitive problems easily and quickly.
Enter the keystrokes you need to solve your problem once and then flip the PRGM switch to RUN. That it's. The only thing you have to do for each iteration from then on is enter your variables and press the R/S (Run/Stop) key. It's that simple.
Here's how. Switch to PRGM.
But that's only part of the HP-25 story. Here's more. You can add to, check or edit your programs at will. You can also write one second interruptions into your program in
The result: Repetitive problems are no longer a repetitive problem.
case you want to note intermediate answers.
And because the keycodes of all prefixed functions are merged, the 49-step program memory can actually store up to 147 key-strokes (How's that for a memory capacity!)? What's more, you can store numbers in eight data registers and perform 72 preprogrammed functions and operations (logs, trig, mean deviations, rectangular-polar conversions, summations – you name it). It not to mention RPN logic; fixed decimal, scientific and engineering notation; and much, much more
In fact, if you wanted to know all the HP25 can do for you it would take a book. But don't worry, we've already written one—125 pages-worth—just chock full of applications programs and problem solutions. Such as Algebra and Number Theory, Numerical Methods, Statistics—even Games. In detail.
And don't forget the best news. The price. The HP-25 is an exceptional value at $195. Right now it's an out-and-out bargain at $165*
The HP-25. There never been a calculator with this kind of capability at this kind of a low price before, with HP's name on it. And you know what that means. Design, performance and a back up support system you just can't get anywhere else.
The HP-25 is almost certainly available at your college bookstore. If not, call 800-358-7922. (In Calif., 800-662-9862) toll-free to find out the name of your nearest dealer.
