Figuring by Maria popova

Kepler knew what we habitually forget - that THE LOCUS OF POSSIBILITIES EXPANDS WHEN THE UNIMAGINABLE IS IMAGINED AND THEN MADE REAL THROUGH SYSTEMATIC EFFORTS.

Clarke about eh future of space exploration, science fiction patron saint would capture this transmutation process perfectly, " IT PART OF THE NATURE OF MAN TO START WITH ROMANCE AND BUILD TO A REALITY".
