	`TEXT:`
/LP, /TX	`Daniel Goldin doesn't look like the kind of guy to get all starry-eyed.`

	`Gray-haired and dressed in a businessman's basic blue blazer at a Rotary`
	`luncheon Friday at Allentown's Hilton Hotel, Goldin could pass for the`
	`bottom-line-savvy CEO of a small computer company or a university`
	`engineering professor well-schooled in the science of writing successful`
	`research grants.`
/TX	`But Administrator Goldin, the top man at the National Aeronautics and Space`
	`Administration, in the Lehigh Valley stumping for U.S. Rep. Paul McHale`
	`(D-15) and the agency's future, doesn't just use arguments that exploring`
	`space is good for business and the nation's global competitive edge.`

	`No, he talks about wonder.`

	`Goldin exhorts his audience to go outside on one of these crisp fall`
	`nights and look up at the stars, the better to marvel at humanity's place`
	`in the universe. He talks of how the folks at NASA "want to rewrite the`
	`science textbooks" with new discoveries.`

	`He shifts listeners' imaginations into high gear, conjuring up images of`
	`what recent discoveries, such as fossilized evidence that bacterial life`
	`may once have existed on Mars, will mean for mankind 10 or 20 years down`
	`the road.`

	`"By the second decade of the next century, you're going to see an`
	`American put his footprints on Mars, with an American flag and an American`
	`patch on his sleeve," he predicts. "I believe we're going to do it, and do`
	`it in your lifetime."`
	`Yes, says this 56-year-old former TRW Inc. executive, "it's an exciting`
	`time to be the head of NASA."`

	`Taking over the foundering agency in 1992, Goldin was widely seen as an`
	`outsider with a "Mission: Impossible." NASA still hadn't shaken the`
	`Challenger disaster; the Hubble telescope threatened to be as useless as a`
	`shorn Samson, and the space station seemed headed for a budgetary black`
	`hole, as congressional budget-cutters wielded their equivalent of a laser`
	`gun.`

	`(. . .)`

	`The NASA Select channel is carried on Channel 77 by Service Electric and`
	`C-TEC cable companies. For general information about the agency, access`
	`http:// www.nasa.gov on the World Wide Web.`
