Thomas’17 Department of Biology, Hampden-Sydney College, Hampden-Sydney, VA 23943 The exploration of Mars was once left to the imagination. However, in recent years, the topic of exploring Mars has become more realistic and increasingly popular in news articles and scientific communities. Technology developed in the previous half-century have already allowed humans to send rovers to Mars in order to retrieve some basic data about the planet. Current technological advancements are resulting in reusable rockets that could one day travel between Earth and Mars. Exploration and colonization of Mars are important for the development of research on the planet and the search for life. Current data is limited, but shows that the conditions on Mars could have supported life in the past.

  • The Influence of Space Power Upon History (1944-1998)*
    * The Influence of Space Power upon History (1944-1998) by Captain John Shaw, USAF * My interest in this subject grew during my experiences as an Air Force Intern 1997-98, working in both the Office of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Space, and in SAF/AQ, Space and Nuclear Deterrence Directorate. I owe thanks to Mr. Gil Klinger (acting DUSD(Space)) and BGen James Beale (SAF/AQS) for their advice and guidance during my internships. Thanks also to Mr. John Landon, Col Michael Mantz, Col James Warner, Lt Col Robert Fisher, and Lt Col David Spataro. Special thanks to Col Simon P. Worden for his insight on this topic. A primary task of the historian is to interpret events in the course of history through a unique lens, affording the scholar a new, and more intellectually useful, understanding of historical outcomes. This is precisely what Alfred Thayer Mahan achieved when he wrote his tour de force The Influence of Sea Power upon History (1660-1783). He interpreted the ebb and flow of national power in terms of naval power, and his conclusions on the necessity of sea control to guarantee national welfare led many governments of his time to expand their naval capabilities. When Mahan published his work in 1890, naval power had for centuries already been a central determinant of national military power.1 It remained so until joined, even eclipsed, by airpower in this century. Space, by contrast, was still the subject of extreme fiction a mere one hundred years ago, when Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon and H.G.

  • Integrating National Interests in Space
    Symposium On Space Policy, Regulations, and Economics – IAF 2012 October 1-5 E3.2 – International Cooperation: Goals, Constraints, and Means IAC-12.E3.2.7 Integrating National Interests in Space Dr. Scott Pace, Space Policy Institute George Washington University, Washington, D.C., USA [email protected] 63rd International Astronautical Congress Naples, Italy October 1-5, 2012 In seeking to advance international security interests in space, the context for civil and commercial space activities must be considered along with the context for military and intelligence ones. The international political environment and rationales for space activities are shaped both “hard” and “soft” power realities. A broad international approach to space exploration can play an important strategic role in securing a more stable, peaceful environment for all space activities. Organizing such an approach will not be easy – not the least because of recent US space policy statements and programmatic decisions affecting lunar and Mars exploration efforts. US national interests and those of its friends and allies would benefit from a more effective integration of national security and civil space interests. In particular, this will require amending recent US policy mistakes and addressing shortfalls in important national space capabilities. Looking forward, a program of peaceful, multilateral exploration of the Moon would be a symbolic and practical means of creating a framework for peaceful space cooperation in concert with dual-use discussions of an international space code of conduct and other transparency and confidence building measures. 1.0 NATIONAL INTERESTS IN SPACE Recent years have seen the emergence of new threats to US space activities, threats that are The United States is facing new challenges and different from those of the Cold War and which new opportunities in integrating its civil, have their own distinct dynamics.

The decision, however, I will never regret. I would like to thank Universidade Nova and the social sciences faculty, FCSH, for allowing me to study at a leading university for International Relations in Portugal. Our classes, especially with prof. Tiago Moreira de Sa and prof. Carlos Gaspar, will always be remembered. To my coordinator, professor Ana Santos Pinto, I want to express gratitude for her guidance, sharp mind and patience throughout the process. The idea of studying a mix of international politics and space came with me from Norway to Portugal. After seeing Pinto teach in our scientific methods class, I asked her to be my coordinator. Even on a topic like space, where she admitted to having no prior expertise, her advice and thoughts were essential for me both academically and personally during the writing process. In addition, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Rui Henriques Santos for stepping in as my co- coordinator when professor Pinto took on other challenges at the Portuguese Ministry of Defense.
