If, however, one argues that the space program was without practical value, then that argument is also absurd. The space program is justified by the completion of its prescribed missions. The "spinoff argument" should merely be, that if one requires PRACTICAL results to "justify" something, then look at the multitude of spinoffs beyond the scope of mission accomplishment. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JOHN L.
