Abstract

Space exploration offers an unparalleled opportunity for the productive integration of the physical and biological sciences directed toward expansion of our knowledge of the universe. Means of improving human tolerance of the expected combined stresses involved in space flight and provision of adequate life-support systems will be necessary to allow man to lend his unique capabilities to accomplishment of the tasks ahead. New knowledge of extraterrestrial environmental effects on all forms of life will result from studies of comparative biology on the broadest scale and will undoubtedly lead to further understanding of the fundamental laws of nature.
