A three years ago i have said this because the world political situation and As a result financial situation would not allow you to do that a air Force col. John e. Blaha said. A i think there is an Opportunity to shift resources now into a different area away from defense spending. That wont happen overnight but i see the evolution of that beginning to take Blaha who has been involved in the space program for a decade was in West Germany to speak at saturdays commencement ceremony for the graduating class of Gen. . Arnold High school in Wiesbaden. A a it a almost fortuitous that Here we arc we be just Learned there is a Gold mine and now there Are political changes that Are going to let us go to the Gold mine a Blaha said. Space and the wonders of weightlessness microgravity Are that Gold mine he said. Construction of an International space station 250 nautical Miles above Earth scheduled to begin in 1995, will the key to the prospecting. It will take 30 space shuttle flights and 60 spacewalks Over five years to Complete it he said. A we know that if we go there and do medical research and materials research we can do things that will help human beings on this planet a he said. A a that a the Bottom space shuttle missions Are often thought of As Mere delivery flights but they have Laid the groundwork for the space challenges of the future. The shuttles have carried satellites and other equipment into space but the scientific experiments conducted on the mid deck of the Craft Are the keys to future space work. Blahaus next Mission scheduled for May is to conduct 10 scientific experiments in addition to launching a vital tracking satellite. Such experiments will allow scientists to get a Quot payoff from microgravity Quot he said. A this is hard to say so i done to want to say when it will tie done. However aids cancer research any kind of transplant any kind of emphysema a you name a disease on this planet even the common cold a space and microgravity offer a Way to unlock the mysteries of those diseases millions of times faster than they can on the Earth. A a we be got to get there and stay there on a full time basis to Start getting that Benefit a he said. Blaha spends some of his time at the Johnson space Center in Houston the Way he has these past few Days in West Germany i \ Sas Gus Sci Tuetjer col. John e. Blaha a a we be got to get there and stay there. A making presentations about his work. A i Tell the kids that by the year 2000, this International space station is going to be there. If they Are interested in physics chemistry biology those fundamental sciences they will have an Opportunity to go do research on that space station. When i talk to them i say i wish i were their age right now because the next 30 years Are going to be hundreds of limes neater than the last 30 space station astronauts will construct the equipment necessary to build a lunar Colony. The target Date for an International Moon Colony is 2010. The Colony will be the a greatest astronomy base in the world a Blaha said. Plans also Call for a trek to Mars in 2019. Space program research positions not involving space travel will multiply in the coming years providing Many exciting opportunities for today a Young people he said. A an 18-year-old kid will have a Good time in the next 30 years if he wants to get on the regardless of the adventure space travel Isnit for everyone. Blaha described the liftoff of a space shuttle As a an exciting ride the first eight minutes. You re on the Best elevator ride in the world. A my experience in microgravity is that two out of three people have a bad reaction. For one out of three its like they re just walking around Down Here he said. All people suffer an intestinal and digestive system shutdown when they hit Zero Gravity he said a if you re in the one third with no reaction within an hour so you re All there is no Way of knowing How a person will react in space Blaha said. Physical condition age other such factors make no difference. Attempts to simulate Zero Gravity on Earth fall snort he said. A everything about microgravity is nothing but surprises All the time. Some times whatever you think True turns out to be right but i have a saying now done to know anything a because you always get
