quote of the day

While purging old email I found a quote from an anonymous traveller on Sicily in October 2003. Not exactly sure if he was ironic or simply had a bad day but in retrospect it's fun anyhow.

Tonight let’s try to keep two distinct thoughts in mind simultaneously.

  • Yes, space exploration is a good thing. It’s being pursued jointly by many countries and I’m old enough to remember when two superpowers raced to the moon without sharing one iota of information.
  • No, the proportions and the level of enthusiasm in mainstream media over this routine flight (just because one of the astronauts happens to be a Swede) is ridiculous. The world needs less nationalism and flag-waving.
