With the Space Transportation System, the "Space Shuttle", the astronauts had to cope with new challenges. The distribution of tasks within the crew became obvious: the commander would be in charge as on a military vessel, and do the flying, together with the pilot. For the many different Shuttle systems there were mission specialists onboard. New tasks like performing complicated extravehicular activities, operating the Shuttle robotic arm, and operating payloads or carrying out scientific experiments, required specially trained astronauts whose training took a long time.

Until recently, the term, 'humandominated ecosystems' would have elicited images of agricultural fields, pastures, or urban landscapes; now it applies with greater or lesser force to all of Earth. " "The global consequences of human activity are not something to face in the future - they are with us now. All of these changes are ongoing, and in many cases accelerating; many of them were entrained long before their importance was recognized. Moreover, all of these seemingly disparate phenomena trace to a single cause - the growing scale of human enterprise.

And it is your talent. Use it wisely. So I challenge you to envision, design, and create programs that seek to solve our massive social and environmental problems on Earth as well as to propel humanity peacefully into the diverse environments of space. Beyond the ISS: The Future of Human Spaceflight 27 There is no doubt that you can do that. Solving hunger and poverty, and redesigning industrial and consumer processes, are challenging, but by no means insurmountable, technical problems. There is no real shortage of food and wealth on this planet!
