Abstract
As Becker1 has recently pointed out, the ballistic entry vehicles of the ICBM program have almost achieved full maturity in the short span of about ten years. This has been accomplished through a combination of clearly defined requirements and a national research and development effort. With similar simple and clear requirements, the first manned orbital vehicles were developed by straightforward extensions of ICBM technology. This growth pattern now appears to be changing as the requirements for future systems become less clearly defined and, at the same time, become much more diverse and complex.
