to Earth after orbiting the moon 10 times, paving the
way for later moon-landing missions.
In 1985,
terrorists killed 20 people and wounded 110 in attacks
on passengers of the Israeli airline El Al at the Rome
and Vienna airports. President Reagan blamed Libyan
leader Moammar Gadhafi.

hand though he is left-handed.

rebels, seeking independence from Russia, killed 52
people with two vehicle bombs at pro-Russian government
offices.
A thought for the day: an anonymous

you have forgotten everything you have
learned."

Classic
Quotes
--------------------
"The most
exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds
new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but
'That's funny ...'"
Isaac Asimov (1920 -
1992)
--------------------
"Perfect as the
wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to
fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of
science. Without them a man of science can never
rise."
Ivan Pavlov (1849 -
1936)
--------------------
"It is a good
morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a
pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him
young."
Konrad Lorenz (1903 -
1989)
--------------------
"All science is
either physics or stamp collecting."
Ernest
Rutherford (1871 - 1937), in J. B. Birks "Rutherford at
Manchester"
(1962)
--------------------
"If an elderly
but distinguished scientist says that something is
possible he is almost certainly right, but if he says
that it is impossible he is very probably
wrong."
Arthur C. Clarke (1917 -
)
