Glenn, now senior U.S. Senator from Ohio, became inthe first American to orbit Earth. In a terview on the 15th anniversary of his pioneer space ride in Mercury space capsule Friendship 7, he expressed his views on space exploration, assessing its present place and influence on our society and its potential for the future. This is the first of a two-paseries on that assessment which discuss career opportunities as well as other from our national space effort ) Since Feb. 20, 1962, when John H. Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth, he has gone from space exploration to a career in business and now is politically active as the senior U.S. Senator from Ohio. Though no longer a participant in our ventures in space, he is an interested and informed observer with some very definite ideas about exploration in the vertical frontier and what it holds for the future and these are revealed in the An ( broad-rangin- g rt following interview. QUESTION: Much has happened in space and on Earth and to you since you orbited Earth 15 years ago From a career in space exploration, you have gone to a political career. How do you view the potential for careers in space now? GLENN: Well, I think our space program has been slowly expanding into broader opportunities for many vocations. We are just beginning to get into the time period of payoffs from our beginning efforts which concentrated largely on learning how to get into space and travel there. Basic research is the reason and objective for our space effort. It should be understood that the exploration of space was not undertaken to allow.a few guys and-o- r gals, too, one of these days, just to go up and look around in the space environment And as our efforts and projects in space continue, there will be ever careers. broader opportunities for space-related W'hy? The reason is that for every person on a space flight in- volved in a special research project, there ate the many, and not just many people on the ground needed for support to launch and retrieve passengers and payloads but to put to use all the data gathered from space experiments. We will need literally hundreds more scientists, technicians, programmers, analysts in all fields to put to constructive use all the data from space. QUESTION: What kind of basic research are you talking about? GLENN: Im talking about basically three different areas research. First, there is energy research. Virtually all our energy comes originally from the Sun. If, as a result of research and travel in space, we can learn how best to collect and direct sunlight for our energy needs on Earth, we will have tapped an unlimited and clean source that will make us independent of other sources. Looking in another direction, back to Earth, the Earth resources analysis program, provided by Landsat satellites, is probably the broadest gauge of all space research. Through this effort, we are learning fantastic things about our own Earth. It enables us to monitor crops, discover new mineral deposits such as copper out West and oil domes in Sou'h America and, via satellite, we are finding water sources in the drought stricken Sahel region of Africa as well as monitoring pollution. I should also mention space communications, weather satellites and other scientific satellites that are providing data about our atmosphere and environment. The third area has to do with what happens to the human body in the gravity free environment of space. We have whole new approaches to cancer studies, high and low blood pressure and cardiovascular problems. New insights to problems in those areas have come out of the space program. So it has been very valuable in those three partipular areas: (1) looking out to the Sun for knowledge about energy that can be utilized here on Earth; (2) the analysis of Earths resources through the Landsat satellites; and (3) the medical aspects of space. QUESTION: In your remarks about the medical aspects of space research, you mentioned that human ventures into space may have provided insights into cancer. Could you elaborate on that? GLENN: I understand that the National Institutes of Health has had some programs looking into this. You see, we dont know what triggers the bodys changing cell replenishment program. In space, we discovered that the whole blood was the amount of blood supply of the human body altered drastically after people get beyond a four-daperiod in space. Apparently the body senses that it no longer needs the same blood supply in the weightless space environment that it needs here in the one g gravity environment of Earth. We are a product of that force, one that was taken for granted until we were able to escape this force by entry into space and it is worth noting that even as recently as 1965 the term weightlessness could not be found in any medical textbook! But weightlessness is a condition of space and, in adapting to this new condition, tests show that the body adjusts by stopping the formation of new blood cells. Why does this occur? Probably because in weightlessness blood does not pool in the legs and abdomen as occurs or Earth. In adapting to that fact of space living, som. mechanism in the body turns cell replenishment off. If w can identify this mechanism, we may be able to find ways ' turn off the runaway cell structure that is cancer. This what the NIH researchers are investigating. Space exploration, as I said earlier, is fundamentally a search for knowledge; vast program of basic research and while I have stressed only three research fields, there are many others And perhaps it would be useful to go into some of these (In the next and last part of this anniversary interview, Sen.
