Future space activities within the context of national needs were examined, 

 and directions that the United States should take in the civilian use and ex- 

 ploration of space for the time period from 1980 to 2000 were identified. It 

 was decided that the following activities should be pursued: (1) those related 

 to the continuing struggle to improve the quality of life (food production 

 and distribution, new energy sources, etc.), (2) those meeting the need for 

 intellectual challenge, for exploration, and for the knowledge by which man 

 can better understand the universe and his relationship to it, (3) those 

 related to research and development in areas applicable to future space sys- 

 tems and missions. A continuing emphasis should be placed on orienting the 

 space program to the physical needs of mankind, to the quest of the mind 

 and spirit, to the vitality of the nation and to the relationship between 

 this nation and other nations of the world.
