Quotes
- “They used their intelligence to control things around them, instead of letting nature and the strong-muscled have their way.”
- “Finally, in one fateful trillionth of a second, a nuclear compound was formed that had two very important properties: it was stable, and it could make a copy of itself.Life had come to the crust of the neutron star.”
- “An animal doesn’t need to develop curiosity and intelligence if it has no problems that need solving.”
- “After a short flurry of national and international concern over the “death of the Sun,” the human race settled down to solving the insoluble problem in the best way that they knew—they ignored it and hoped it would go away.”
- “No data is preferable to poor data.”
- “Do you realize that when I get back from this trip two years from now I am going to be getting more in royalties from children’s books than I will in salary for being a space scientist?”
