“…We loved the Science of Things. We wished to know. We wished to know about all the things which make the earth around us… We think there are mysteries in the sky and under the water and in the plants which grow.”
“The sky is black like a sieve pierced by silver drops that tremble, ready to burst through.”
“We have come to see how great is the unexplored, and many lifetimes will not bring us to the end of our quest.”
“The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, but only those who will seek them.”
“The power of the sky can be made to do men’s bidding. There are no limits to its secrets and its might, and it can be made to grant us anything if we but choose to ask.”
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
“The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.”
“Man is most himself when he…challenges the very laws of the universe.”
"So you do have an invisible wire. Clever - but what use is it, except for parlour tricks?"
"Fascinating ... I can appreciate that this may have all sorts of technical applications. It would make a splendid cheese cutter."“Active research is ongoing worldwide, with efforts at: Carbon Designs, NASA Institute of Advanced Concepts, MIT, European Space Society, International Space University, Virgin Galactic, [and others.]”
