Quote of the day:
"Man is an artifact designed for space travel. He is not designed to remain in his present biologic state any more than a tadpole is designed to remain a tadpole."
William S. Burroughs
(Feb 05, 1914 - Aug 02, 1997)
William Seward Burroughs II was an American novelist, short story writer, satirist, essayist, painter, and spoken word performer. Burroughs was a primary figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodernist author who wrote in the paranoid fiction genre, and his influence is considered to have affected a range of popular culture as well as literature. Burroughs wrote eighteen novels and novellas, six collections of short stories and four collections of essays. Five books have been published of his interviews and correspondences. He also collaborated on projects and recordings with numerous performers and musicians, and made many appearances in films. He was also briefly known by the pen name William Lee. (Wikipedia Commons)

One thing I have learned about sharing these quotes, there's all kinds of surprises about astronomy, space exploration, and even colonization. I've learned that even the ancient Greek, Roman, and even some Babylonian philosophers and scientists believed in man reaching into the heavens and "living among the gods..." but not in a spiritual sense... Fascinating, to say the least.
