This bill was introduced on June 21, 1994, in a previous session of Congress, but it did not receive a vote. Although this bill was not enacted, its provisions could have become law by being included in another bill. It is common for legislative text to be introduced concurrently in multiple bills (called companion bills), re-introduced in subsequent sessions of Congress in new bills, or added to larger bills (sometimes called omnibus bills). This bill had it become law would have directed the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to: (1) establish a National Academy of Space to prepare qualifying individuals for Government or U.S. corporate space-related service; and (2) appoint a Board of the National Academy of Space whose functions shall include examination and curriculum development, scholarship and placement administration, and selection of State universities as Member Institutes of the Academy. …

Wraps. Zustand: Very good. Quarto, 133, [1] pages. Wraps. Profusely illustrated (most in color). Maps, Cover slightly worn and soiled. Special Millennium Feature. Foreword by Administrator Daniel S. Goldin. Daniel Saul Goldin (born July 23, 1940) served as the 9th and longest-tenured Administrator of NASA from April 1, 1992, to November 17, 2001. He was appointed by President George H. W. Bush and also served under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. He began his career at NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio that year, and worked on electric propulsion systems for human interplanetary travel. Goldin left NASA a few years later to work at the TRW Space and Technology Group in Redondo Beach, California. During a 25-year career at TRW, Goldin eventually became Vice President and General Manager and led projects that conceptualized and produced advanced communication spacecraft, space technologies, and scientific instruments. When Goldin returned to NASA as administrator, he pioneered the "faster, better, cheaper" approach that proposed NASA could cut costs while still delivering a wide variety of aerospace programs. Introduction by Robert L. Norwood, Director, Commercial Technology Division. Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many non-aerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos. Spinoff profiles NASA technologies that have transformed into commercial products and services. About 50 spinoff technologies are featured annually in the publication, demonstrating the wider benefits of America's investment in its space program. NASA has a long history of transferring technology to the private sector. The Technology Transfer Program was formally established in 1964 in response to a congressional mandate to facilitate the process, and the program has functioned under various names ever since, making it NASA's longest continuously operated mission. Early publications about NASA inventions, made available to the scientific and engineering communities, resulted in feedback that indicated a broad interest in the private sector in acquiring and adapting NASA technology for commercial uses. As spinoff products began to emerge, NASA began preparing annual reports on these successes to present at congressional budget hearings. These black and white Technology Utilization Program Reports, published in 1973 and '74, generated so much public interest that NASA decided to turn them into an attractive publication for a general audience. The first four-color edition of Spinoff was published in 1976, and it has been published every year since, sharing the stories of nearly 2,000 products and services that began as, or have benefited from, NASA technology.
