    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." 
     
       The NASA Select channel is carried on Channel 77 by Service Electric and 
    C-TEC  cable  companies.  For  general information about the agency, access
