This is a total blind shot; your name was on a Sept 92 list of current
usenet/Internet lists.  I'm a new user.  I'm writing a concept paper
(does not need to be overly technical--it's more "what if") on the
possibility of unmanned autonomous vehicles (in the future) that can
be launched from space (possibly many garaged on a platform) to do
sensor passes, etc. over crisis areas--the paper is for the Naval War
College Continuing Education program in national security decision-
making.  Topic might involve aerodynamic feasibility, robotics, AI,
and other concerns such as "why do this when we have satellites."
I'm writing to you because you might know some points or questions I
should consider based upon space probes for Venus, Mars, etc.--or, whom
else I should write to on Internet etc.  Appreciate any help you can
give me as NWC isn't offering any.  As background, I spent 2 years in
the navy as an aerospace psychologist, 5 yrs at SAIC doing human-computer
interface design on Suns, and now am a senior policy analyst for info
policy for the state of Washington.  Phone:  206-664-8128 (wk).
