      11. Let’s have this stunning quote again shall we:

        “But for Man no rest and no ending. He must go on conquest beyond conquest. First this little planet with its winds and waves. And then all laws of mind and matter that restrain him. Then the planets about him. And at last out throughout cosmos beyond the stars And when he has conquered all the depths of space and the mysteries of time he will still only just be beginning.”*

        *Just so long as we wise-up and as a species stop letting Stupidity & Greed have their say.
