Young space scientists are spending too much time in front of computers, say
a group of Japanese academics. If students don’t have a chance to handle and
understand the astronomical instruments themselves, they say, the youngsters
won’t be able to tell meaningful data from mistaken information. So the
old-timers have roped in 20 institutions and companies to form a research
society to help young space scientists watch rocket experiments and a rocket
launch at the University of Alaska.
