...laser distance-measuring device, Spectra-Physics, Inc. flew the instrument over a Philadelphia high school stadium at an altitude of 1,000 ft. A conventional radar altimeter would have indicated only the slope of the stadium; the laser picked out each row of seats, the one-foot space between each row, and even the slight depression of the running track at ground level.

Freed from the earth's atmosphere, astronomers on the station could peer through telescopes for an undistorted view of the destination of future space trips. How would this ambitious multimillion-dollar project be financed? An idea...
