The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating.” ~ John Schaar, scholar and political theorist who has published articles on patriotism, equality and authority.

Robert Hood says: I find myself surprisingly, deeply sad over the end of NASA’s shuttle program. I’ve always viewed the shuttle as part of what defined “the future”.
