From page 328...
... For the foreseeable future, interactive image analysis and large-volume interactive theoretical computations require that either the user must travel to the centralized facility or the computational facilities must be distributed among the users, as already recommended here. Remote operation of instruments is, of course, necessary for all unmanned spacecraft.
