Abstract
Leisure activities pursued during long range space missions should not be considered by planners as merely a way of filling in time. Current astronaut selection procedure tends to favor those who in leisure time in a spacecraft will spontaneously pursue mission-oriented activities, making the most of whatever facilities are available. With provision of an appropriate climate and opportunity, encouragement can be given to furtherance of the creative use of leisure for self-development of the persons involved. Provision should be made for both active recreation, as in hobbies, communal games, and even music making, and for passive enjoyment as in listening to recorded music and radio, watching television and movies, and reading. Provisision for exercise programs is also required.
