Description: The major purpose of Societies in Space is to encourage the involvement of the Social Sciences in the construction of the High Frontier. Such an enterprise involves elements like the social construction of space settlements, orbiting communities, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This incipient subject matter should offer a challenging and exotic environment for direct Social Science participation.
