TEXT: | |
/LP, /TX | Daniel Goldin doesn't look like the kind of guy to get all starry-eyed. |
Gray-haired and dressed in a businessman's basic blue blazer at a Rotary | |
luncheon Friday at Allentown's Hilton Hotel, Goldin could pass for the | |
bottom-line-savvy CEO of a small computer company or a university | |
engineering professor well-schooled in the science of writing successful | |
research grants. | |
/TX | But Administrator Goldin, the top man at the National Aeronautics and Space |
Administration, in the Lehigh Valley stumping for U.S. Rep. Paul McHale | |
(D-15) and the agency's future, doesn't just use arguments that exploring | |
space is good for business and the nation's global competitive edge. | |
No, he talks about wonder. | |
Goldin exhorts his audience to go outside on one of these crisp fall | |
nights and look up at the stars, the better to marvel at humanity's place | |
in the universe. He talks of how the folks at NASA "want to rewrite the | |
science textbooks" with new discoveries. | |
He shifts listeners' imaginations into high gear, conjuring up images of | |
what recent discoveries, such as fossilized evidence that bacterial life | |
may once have existed on Mars, will mean for mankind 10 or 20 years down | |
the road. | |
"By the second decade of the next century, you're going to see an | |
American put his footprints on Mars, with an American flag and an American | |
patch on his sleeve," he predicts. "I believe we're going to do it, and do | |
it in your lifetime." | |
Yes, says this 56-year-old former TRW Inc. executive, "it's an exciting | |
time to be the head of NASA." | |
Taking over the foundering agency in 1992, Goldin was widely seen as an | |
outsider with a "Mission: Impossible." NASA still hadn't shaken the | |
Challenger disaster; the Hubble telescope threatened to be as useless as a | |
shorn Samson, and the space station seemed headed for a budgetary black | |
hole, as congressional budget-cutters wielded their equivalent of a laser | |
gun. | |
Indeed, McHale, a member of the House Science and Technology Committee, | |
used his introduction of Goldin on Friday to recall that when he voted to | |
continue funding the space station in 1993, the measure passed by one vote. | |
"It was that vote that made me realize that one vote can make a | |
difference," he said. | |
Since then, many in and outside Congress have been won over by Goldin's | |
ability to fly his unwieldly bureaucracy, drumming up support while | |
trimming the agency budget by $42 billion and 55,000 jobs. | |
Many credit the Cold War-era national security satellite designer with | |
engineering the detente with the Russians that allowed joint space station | |
flights, including the one that recently returned female American astronaut | |
Shannon Lucid to Earth after 188 days. | |
Friday's visit was typical of Goldin's style: He has crossed the nation | |
as many times as a weather satellite, visiting city after city to hold town | |
meetings, talk to schoolchildren --and build rapport with the taxpayers on | |
whose support NASA depends. | |
On Friday, for example, he gave out used NASA computers to an | |
after-school program at a predominantly black Baptist church in Easton and | |
brought real-life astronaut Lt. Col. Andrew Green to Parkland School | |
District's Schnecksville Elementary School to visit its full-size | |
space-shuttle model. | |
In speaking to the Rotarians, Goldin stressed the excitement of new | |
discoveries. He pointed out that "it's only in the last year or so" that we | |
have found "11 planets around stars that are not our own" and learned that | |
Jupiter's moon Europa has an ice crust and thus the possibility of water. | |
"On Earth, wherever we find liquid water with an energy source, we find | |
life," he said. | |
Goldin confessed that he has been "overwhelmed" in the last few months | |
by the implications of the 36-billion-year-old Martian meteorite found in | |
Antarctica. | |
"We have the top scientists in the world working on it," he commented. | |
It's still early to draw conclusions, he said, "but we think we have found | |
fossilized bacteria. | |
"The implications of this must be left to the theologians," Goldin | |
continued. "We at NASA will provide the data, the results.... But we are | |
living at an unbelievable time." | |
Goldin said that NASA plans to launch a planetary probe to Mars Dec. 2, | |
with a rendezvous with the Red Planet set for a red, white and blue July 4, | |
1997. | |
The craft, he said, will carry "the most incredible robot ever built," | |
capable of navigating without human intervention. The robot also will have | |
"a video camera so you and your children can turn on to the Internet and | |
you will get real-time presence on Mars." | |
In the next 25 years, Goldin said, NASA will have telescopes able to see | |
600 trillion miles with "resolution high enough to see oceans, clouds and | |
topographical features such as mountain ranges" on orbiting planets. | |
And, within 15 years, "if Earth-sized planets exist up to 100 light | |
years away," it will be possible to detect whether they have "water vapor, | |
oxygen and carbon dioxide." | |
Meanwhile, Goldin said the agency is also working on satellites and | |
strategies to better understand the Earth's climate, and new supersonic | |
transports. | |
The new SSTs will be able to take a traveler from Los Angeles to Tokyo | |
in four hours --while being more quiet and fuel efficient and less | |
polluting than similar aircraft are now. | |
Such planes will create billions of dollars of new trade, he said, also | |
telling his listeners to remind themselves that every time the space | |
shuttle launches, a local business, Air Products and Chemicals Inc., | |
Trexlertown, has had a hand in the flight as developer of some of the | |
craft's technology. | |
But it's the long view that clearly fascinates Goldin the most -- the | |
view that, even in a time when everything from welfare to Medicare is | |
subject to cutbacks, life without the space agency would shortchange | |
today's children their future and ability to dream. | |
"What other government agency goes 20-30 years out (in its planning)?" | |
he asked in an interview, underscoring his view of space exploration as | |
an ultimate quest shared by everyone of this era. | |
"You're part of something that's happening," he said, "to change how | |
human beings think about who we are and what we are." | |
