Abstract
- Space offers eight distinct paths to controlled laboratory-style experiments in fundamental physics beyond the reach of any Earth-based laboratory. This impressive range of opportunity has already led to important physics but we are only at the beginning. Meanwhile, NASA is in crisis. This paper follows the wisdom of a great and inspiring physicist, William Fairbank, that every setback or difficulty is an opportunity. NASA needs new science; fundamental physics can provide it and with it fascinating new technologies — and training for a new generation of imaginative physicists and engineers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
