"As we look out into the Universe and identify the many accidents of physics and astronomy that have worked together to our benefit, it almost seems as if the Universe must in some sense have known that we were coming."
-The Anthropic Cosmological Principle 1986 by John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler
Elon Musk, 13 years ago: A fully and rapidly reusable rocket is barely possible. SpaceX is going to try to do it. We could fail, but we're going to try to do it.
But instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile.

- **Humanity**: "Hey, build us a bomb!"
- **Oppenheimer**: "Okay, but maybe let's not use it too much?"
- **Humanity**: "Thanks for the bomb! Now, you're a security risk because you don't want to make an even bigger bomb!"
