I actually remember the launch of Pioneer 10, and seeing the plaque in the news (nudity! Shock, horror!) An early memory, I hasten to add.
Just before I sign off for the evening, three acerbic definitions from Dr Johnson. To what was he referring in each case?
"The triumph of hope over experience"
"The last refuge of a scoundrel"
"A wretch who supports with insolence, and is paid with flattery"
