etal Space colonies discussed Gerald O’Neill, a physics professor at Princeton University, will speak today at 8 p.m. in the EMU ballroom on “The High Frontier.” The program will center on the possibility of colonies in space and will feature slides and film clips. O'Neill works in the area of high-energy, experimental particle physics. Since 1967 he has investigated the possibility of human habita tion in space and has advocated the use of present day technology to construct large manufacturing facilities and human communities in orbit above the earth. According to his book published last year, The High Frontier, the colonies could be built with materials and energy freely available in space and could produce products at a substantial reduction in price. In 1965, O’Neill originated the widely-adopted principle of colliding-beam storage rings, which are currently in operation in the United States, Flussia, Germany, Italy and France. “O’Neill has also written several articles and papers on space applications including “Space Colonies and Energy Needs on Earth” for Science magazine. His paper “Space Colonization” appeared in the 1976 edition of the World Book Encyclopedia publication Science Year. Tickets for the program will be available at the door for $1. The EMU Cultural Forum is sponsoring the event.
