From The Space Library

In Astronautics & Aeronautics editorial AIAA President Floyd L. Thompson heralded U.N. Conference on Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space in Vienna, August 14-27. Against back­ground of new developments in arms control, it would emphasize prac­tical benefits of space exploration, especially as to how they could aid developing nations. "This action by the UN points up the continuing concern of many about the need for cooperation among nations in the exploration of space. It recognizes that space represents an important element of national power, a force for growth, particularly in advanced technology and education." (A&A, 8/68, 17)
