Abstract :
Man´s exploration of space presents a multitude of problems, large and small. The subjects of the following paragraphs are a sampling of these problems; first, a simulated space environment — or vacuum — must be accessible for experimentation. Adaptation must be made of machines to the effects of space on lubrication; the problem of drinking water for astronauts must be solved. And, touching on the area of communications, a forecast of future television satellites is described.
