To define the potential uses of space technology to Mankind in the year 2000, or. Kurt h. Debus said the civilization of that time must first be  we must measure the Cost effectiveness at All of space exploration we must do so against the society then in being rather than the society of today de bus said in a speech to the Avia Tion space writers  he said it is a tremendous Challenge beset with stupendous difficulties to define  assess the future  to predict the secondary effects of space in  predicament is not new. Debus said that when the Tele phone was invented there was absolutely no need by the society of that time to have  it was simply a new Gadget he said.
