It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.

H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
"I believe in only one thing and that thing is human liberty. If ever a man is to achieve anything like dignity, it can happen only if superior men are given absolute freedom to think what they want to think and say what they want to say. I am against any man and any organization which seeks to limit or deny that freedom … the superior man can be sure of freedom only if it is given to all men." H. L. Mencken
