Bono Takes Third Trip To The Altar He Teaches A Course On Space Politics AUSTIN, Texas (AP) As earthlings venture into outer space, they'll take along with them an" invisible but inescapable cargo politics, says an assistant professor at the University of Texas.

Nathan Goldman is preparing his students for what he sees as a brave new world outside the earth's atmosphere with an innovative course called "The Politics of Outer Space." The 31-year-old Goldman first taught the course in the spring of 1981. It attracted about 280 students. He's teaching the course again this year, and enrollment is up to about 360 students ready to study space politics as a legitimate science. "The whole world is being drawn into an international web of interdependence," Goldman said in an interview, "and it's being re-emphasized by space. There are half a dozen treaties and a lot of agreements that create a body of law for space." Goldman said his course outline starts with current policy toward space, covers the increasing efforts of countries other than the United States and Soviet Union to get there, and then goes into his projections for the future.

"The first part of the course is really an American government course" that describes the agencies, interest groups and processes of the U.S. space program, Goldman said. Private industry is wed to the idea of capitalism in outer space, he said, and that creates a need for a coherent national space policy. "It's not just a domestic issue for instance, what about damages? but through space treaties, we also have international obligations," Goldman said. "The nation is responsible for the actions in space of its nationals, and there's absolute liability for space damages.

So there needs to be some kind of regulatioa "But who's supposed to regulate? FAA? NASA? The State Department? It's not at all clear who's supposed to do it. So observance of laws in space will be crucial, -Goldman said, and anarchy can't be tolerated. "Space is too crowded for that, ironic as that sounds." Once Goldman convinces his students that it's only a matter of time before "space politics" becomes a common subject, he moves on to every science fiction buffs favorite subject the future. Emphasizing the caveat "if things continue as they are now," Goldman predicted, "the Russians will have a permanent space station by the mid-to-late 80s. And I believe the Russians will be on Mars by the year 2000.

Where we will be, there's no way to know, because we don't have a policy." At a conference called "A Case for Mars" earlier this year, Goldman said, he learned that a manned landing on Mars is not that far-fetched, because of improved technology. "We were shown some figures that said it would cost less to go to Mars than it cost to go to the Moon. That was shocking." Goldman said there is yet to be a compelling reason to put people on Mars, though he believes humans will be forced to seek survival in outer space. Entertainer Sonny Bono married his longtime girlfriend, actress-model Susie Coelho, on New Year's Eve, Bono's publicist said in Aspen, Colo. About 50 people attended the 9 p.m.

candlelight ceremony led by minister Greg Anderson at Aspen's non-denominational Prince of Peace Church, Richard Grant said. It was the third marriage for Bono, 46, and the first for Coelho, 26. Chastity Bono, the groom's 12-year-old daughter by singer Cher, Bono's second wife, was one of four bridesmaids, Grant said. The' others were model Liz Melissa Clark and Ann Parke. Actress Mimi Rogers was maid of honor.

The couple met in Palm Springs, five years ago and had been sharing Bono's Beverly -Hills home, Grant said, where they will live. Grant said Cher knew of the wedding plans.
