The 10 September 1982 issue of Science contains several space articles.
One deals with the technical & political aspects of Arianespace vs. NASA.
Another discusses a controversy over modifying the Centaur for use as a
high energy upper stage for the shuttle.  A briefing notes congressional
action on laser battle stations (more study, no demo yet).  Research News
covers various space station proposals and who would use them to do what.
