COVER: LOST in SPACE. A Special Report. How to get American off the ground. Cover: Photo by NASA.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
HOW TO GET AMERICA OFF THE GROUND: The space station was to be NASA's next step for mankind, but critics call it premature and overpriced Ayear and a half after the space shuttle Challenger blew up on its way to orbit, the U.S. space program is a shambles: commercial satellites are backed up for launching; the Pentagon has only one spy satellite left in orbit, and sophisticated science probes are sitting in costly storage. The shuttle's redesigned booster-rocket seal was successfully tested last week and plans are afoot for big new ventures, but critics say NASA has become a timorous bureaucracy with no real long-term policy. NEWSWEEK'S cover package analyzes the problems and suggests some surprising remedies—and, in a cautionary tale about a rocket that might have been, shows how a key decision that went wrong 20 years ago still hurts the program. Special Report: Page 34.

PEACE MOVES: Reagan's peace plan for Nicaragua, which would have worked to his advantage even if it had failed, is upstaged by a surprise initiative by five Central American countries that beguiles Democrats and threatens to cut off funding for the contras. National Affairs: Page 16.

IRAN'S THREAT: America's old nemesis, the Ayatollah Khomeini, brandished a new list of grievances as Iran and the United States Surprise initiative: Ortega geared up for a possible confrontation in the Persian Gulf. The U.S. Navy had a variety of retaliatory options in hand, but Washington also worried about new acts of terrorism outside the gulf. International: Page 28.

HOLLYWOOD Goes HISPANIC: LaBamba," the newbiograph-ical film salute to the late Chicano rocker Ritchie Valens, is a big hit with Spanish-speaking moviegoers. It also has succeeded in focusing Hollywood's attention on Hispanic audiences and actors. The Arts: Page 66.
