Teaching space politics and policy: an overview and evaluation of student attitudes

Undergraduate courses in space politics and policy are needed because space exploration is essential to the survival of humankind. Courses on space education provide students a knowledge base from which they can depend on to make better choices on how to use the space environment for the benefit of man. Recommended sections of a course on space policy and politics include a history of the US space program, reasons for the US space program, effect of public opinion on space policy, and the relationships between political parties, interest groups and space policy.
