Abstract

To mark the 10th anniversary of the Apollo‐Soyuz joint space mission, a recent conference examined the prospects for human exploration of Mars and for international cooperation in space. Most of the participants at the conference, which was jointly sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and The Planetary Society, seemed to agree that some sort of collaboration like that between the United States and Soviet Union a decade ago would be desirable, and probably necessary, if humans are ever to reach Mars. Sen. Spark Matsunaga (D‐Hawaii) extended the idea by saying that to gain the support of Congress, plans for future space exploration should be tied to international cooperation.
