Abstract
The author criticizes the present activities of the IAF which have as their purpose mainly the winning of new national member societies, and he prooves that these activities are only worthwhile with a few countries that are culturally and technically progressed but which are not members so far.
As a feasible activity of the near future — to make the first practical step towards the conquest of space — the author proposes to win the broadcasting and telecasting companies of the Earth for the construction of a small space station which could be destined exclusively for broadcasting and telecasting purposes.
