Extractions: Speaks on Space By Jim Plaxco On the afternoon of Saturday, October 23, I had the good fortune to be able to sit down and talk with Dr. Byron Lichtenberg about space based research. Following is a transcript of that conversation. Q: As a scientist, do you think that there is value in doing experiments in orbit? A: I really think that there is a lot of value in carrying out experiments in orbit. In the Spacelab program, in the last 10 years we have only had seven weeks of dedicated laboratory experience in space. So if you try to compare doing research in space versus research in a ground based laboratory, we are really at the beginning stages. I know in my heart that there are a lot of things that we are going to find out in the future - either processes that we can elucidate in space or new crystal structures or a variety of things that we can learn from going into space and doing primarily life science and microgravity science experiments in zero gravity that we just can not predict yet. A lot of people say "where's the beef, where's the payoff?" and we can't say that yet. Having been there twice and knowing the changes in the physical parameters of doing an experiment, there are going to be things that we find out when we get to the station - when we get to a permanent laboratory existence in space - that nobody can predict yet.

Extractions: General Electric Photo by John Foraste Even before there were astronauts, Byron Lichtenberg wanted to fly in outer space. In 1983 he got his wish when he became a payload specialist aboard the space shuttle Columbia, the only Brown alum to become an astronaut and the first civilian to fly on board the shuttle. After Brown, where he joined ROTC and majored in aerospace engineering, Lichtenberg spent four years as a U.S. Air Force pilot. But he became disillusioned with the military and returned to graduate school to earn a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from MIT. While he was still working on his doctorate, Lichtenberg and some colleagues proposed a space-shuttle experiment studying inner-ear function under weightless conditions. NASA accepted the experiment, and Lichtenberg was on his way to becoming a payload specialist. Now a captain with Southwest Airlines, Lichtenberg also works for the X-Prize Foundation, an organization that promotes an altogether new frontier: space tourism.
