Human Space Exploration Survey
Created | Updated Aug 18, 2003
What do you think are the best goals for the near future (next 40 years or less) of government-funded human space flight programs (as opposed to robotic space flight)? Pick all that apply. If you wish, please explain your reasons.
A- Cancel government-funded human space flight programs.
B- Continue work in LEO (low Earth orbit) on the ISS and simialar projects.
C- Work on construction of infrastructure in Earth orbit, for example, building spacedocks, geosynchronous space stations, or solar power satellites.
D- Establish infrastructure to send humans to the Moon, and do so.
E- Establish an outpost on the Moon.
F- Establish a colony on the Moon.
G- Establish infrastructure to send humans to Mars, and do so.
H- Establish an outpost on Mars.
I- Establish a colony in Earth orbit or at Earth-Moon Lagrange points.
J- Establish a colony in Earth orbit or at Earth-Moon Lagrange points.
K- Establish infrastructure to send humans to a near-Earth asteroid.
L- Establish infrastructure to send humans to a main belt asteroid.
M- Establish infrastructure for cheap (commercially viable) transport to LEO or higher.
N- Establish infrastructure for cheap (commercially viable) transport to the Moon.
O- Other. (Please explain.)
The following websites give reasons for some of these choices. If you have any other websites that you think I should list, let me know.
