Abstract
Plans are underway for the next 25–50 years in space. The days of “mission control” may be waning. More study and research is recommended on issues of leadership for (a) earth‐based projects in space, and (b) space‐based programmes with managers there of manned or unmanned projects. Large‐scale technical enterprises in space require a new form of macro management. Despite current difficulties associated with the management of the space shuttle, both experiential history and a possible paradigm or demonstrated model of future trends in the general field of management are offered.
