"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt, quoted in Geoff Jones and Gary Frank, Doomsday Clock (Burbank, CA, 2019), "Not Victory Nor Defeat," p. 28, panel 8.

Kaor, Paul!
And, ever since the last Moon landing in 1973, we have been living in such a dreary, grey twilight of a time! We turned away from doing and daring great deeds. It's my hope that if Elon Musk succeeds in founding a colony on Mars, we finally leave this dismal mediocre time behind us!
Ad astra! Sean
