Abstract
The author discusses how NASA was created partly out of the need for new frontiers and partly out of fear that Soviets would become militarily superior to the United States after the launch of Skylab in 1957. The author describes some of its early struggles and credibility problems as NASA put a man on the moon before the end of the 1960s. The author explores how NASA survived the budget cuts and changing political climate of the 1970s by pushing forward, culminating in the launch of the Space Shuttle in 1981. The paper concludes in 1985 with NASA?s plans for a manned space station and re-evaluation of its mission, key functions and tasks it will have to accomplish as we move into the 21st century.

Abstract
Imagine a world without automobiles, trains, airplanes, water transportation such as ships, or pipelines. Without these five different modes of transportation life would be different. These modes of transportation make life enjoyable as they make it possible to have the quality of life that most people enjoy. The economy of many countries can be tracked with the methods of transportations determining how wealthy a country may be. "The fact that transportation represents 3.3 percent of our national income understates the importance of that sector to our economy and our well-being" (Moore 2001). The role of transportation over the years and the costs of transportation play a vital role in the lives of people today.

From the Paper
"Air travel is one of world?s largest industries, which generates over $300 billion in revenues. More over it has an over all impact far in excess of its turn over, since it facilitates tourism, world trade, international investment, etc. further its importance can be easily under stood from the range of products it transports all over the world every single day. Fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, pharmaceuticals etc are only some of them. It is therefore central to the globalisation, which is taking place in many other industries. The increasing use of Internet and the rising disposable income with the people and the realisation of the economic benefits of tourism by the developing countries all contributed towards the rapid growth of this industry. It can be seen that after pornography airline ticket is the hottest selling commodity in the Internet. According to a research by ?The Economist? the airline ticket sale over internet amounts $5 billion world-wide. (June 30 2001). So I am taking two big companies from this industry, British Airways and Lufthansa for this study. I am trying to analyse their market, their critical success factors and the values their websites provide to the end user."
