Technology examined
"Space for Man?" is scheduled to be
broadcast Thursday, July 17, at 8 p.m. on the
Nebraska ETV Network, just hours after the
Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft are scheduled to be
linked. The program will combine the resources
and skills of approximately 20 nations to .
examine how space technology has benefited
man over the past 18 years and explore possible
priorities for further space programs.
NPACT Executive Producer Al Vecchione sees
this project as coming as a historic moment.
"The world's attention will be focused on the
link-up of the Russian and American spacecraft
during the afternoon of July 17," said
Vecchione. "It is a symbolic event more than a
major technological achievement. It signifies the
end of a competitive era and the beginning, we
hope, of a new spirit of space cooperation among
nations. It is the perfect time to pause and reflect
on what has been accomplished and what lies
ahead."
Two-part program
The two-hour "Space for Man?" broadcast
will have two parts: the international segment
will be a 75-minute critical review of
developments of advancing space technology

quality-of-life advances.

segment, NPACT will offer a 45-minute

guests. .-

debate surrounding space fiscal priorities.
