Quote of the Day: Hawking In Space
"Hawking has been to the White House, the Great Wall of China and Antarctica, met the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and been lowered into the pit of an underground particle accelerator. Lawrence M. Krauss, a cosmologist from Case Western Reserve University, who once took him down in a submarine, said, "Stephen is a dreamer and an adventurer who enjoys the opportunities his celebrity brings in a way that happily perhaps compensates, although only minusculely, for his physical affliction."
The image of him floating through the stars in his wheelchair has become a symbol of humanity's restless curiosity and wonder. "
