Stephen Hawking, badass:
“If the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before.”
Hawking compared people who don’t want to spend money on human space exploration to those who opposed the journey of Christopher Columbus in 1492.
“The discovery of the New World made a profound difference to the old. Just think we wouldn’t have had a Big Mac or KFC.”
I would pay almost as much to go into space as I would to see Hawking putting away a bucket of KFC.
