3 OBPROBPR SpaceResearch.nasa.gov Office of Biological & Physical Research Page 3MJW, May 23, 2001 Fundamental Questions How can humans expand beyond the home planet to achieve maximum benefits from space? How have the fundamental laws of nature shaped the evolution of life? 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 Goal 3: Enable and promote commercial research in space
