With space contracts dwindling, the aerospace industry is beginning to show signs of atrophy. Although few of the major companies involved are overwhelmingly dependent on the space program, most of them are experiencing a slump. At North American Rockwell, principal contractor for the Apollo capsule, 5,200 research and development staffers have been laid off or shifted to other projects. The Boeing Co., builder of the first-stage Saturn boosters, must soon let go part of its 10,000-man Apollo team. The impact would be most severe in towns like Huntsville, Ala., where Saturn rockets are assembled. Space...

At its peak in 1966, Apollo employed 400,000 people, from Long Island to Seattle. The technological impact has been less conspicuous. But in scarcely more than a decade, research has produced hundreds of what NASA calls "space technology transfers" that apply everywhere from factory to surgical ward...
...Petroleum is a good example of where we could set direction and give incentives-like the oil industry's depletion allowance, for instance. Maybe rather than cut depletion or raise it or whatever, we should tie it more strongly to exploration and research, for example, into new methods of cutting down on pollution. Maybe we could give a similar advantage to other industries and tie it to how they use it.
