Richard Feynman said:
If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

So, if, in some cataclysm, all of OF knowledge were to be destroyed, (e.g. after someone activates the hidden red matter in the chatbox...), what would your one sentence passed on to the next generation of Orbinauts be? :lol:

I can't think of a serious one, so...

Don't bother reading any threads, they will bring you nothing but pain.

No, you can't just point the nose at Mars and fly straight there.
