  3. Fundamental Questions How can humans expand beyond the home planet to achieve maximum benefits from space? Goal 1: Conduct research to enable safe and productive human habitation of space How have the fundamental laws of nature shaped the evolution of life? Goal 3: Enable and promote commercial research in space Goal 2: Use the space environment as a laboratory to test the fundamental principles of physics, chemistry and biology. Goal 1: Conduct research to enable safe and productive human habitation of space MJW, May 23, 2001
