The U.S. should orbit solar-power stations and mine the moon for raw materials, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov told President Carter in an open letter printed in the Chicago Tribune. Citing the benefits of orbital stations capable of transmitting solar energy in microwaves to earth stations, Asimov stressed the need for international cooperation in using space and in preventing the extinction of humanity. (C Trib, Mar 26/77, 1-7)
