America s future in space concerns writer i am deeply concerned about America s future in space. With president Reagan we have seen the arrival of the strategic defense initiative ski. My belief is sd1 could be a huge technological advancement toward future space projects not just for military purposes but also for space colonization. So what will happen to our space technology in 1988 when president Reagan retires i am truly afraid for the future of America s space programs. A Leader who May fed ski is not As important As such pressing issues u the plight of the poor and world hunger could close the door on a possible american Colony on the Moon or even Mars. My America future greatness lies in the countless possibilities of space. Presidential candidates must keep this in mind. My vote will go to the person with his or her head in space sol. K.
