"With or without religion you would have good people doing good things

and evil people doing evil things.

But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

- Steven Weinberg

Quote of the Month

"We ignore public understanding of science at our peril."

- Eugenie Clark

Quote of the Month

"The real truth about a lot of life's mysteries can be explained by science,

but people don't want to get in bed with science because it's cold.

They prefer religion, myth, drama."

- David Duchovny

Quote of the Month

"Ignorance might be bliss for the ignorant,

but for the rest of us it’s a right fucking pain in the arse."

Quote of the Month

"The presence of those seeking the truth

is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those

who think they've found it."

- Terry Pratchett

Quote of the Month

"...man, once surrendering his reason,

has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous,

and like a ship without a rudder, is the sport of every wind.

With such persons, gullibility which they call faith,

takes the helm from the hand of reason,

and the mind becomes a wreck."

- Thomas Jefferson

Quote of the Month

"To be scientifically literate

is to empower yourself to know

when someone is full of bullshit."

- Neil deGrasse Tyson

Quote of the Month

"I think the problem is that people often confuse skepticism with cynicism.

I’m not a cynic, not at all.

I’m willing to be shown.

All I ask for is the evidence."

- James Randi

Quote of the Month

"So the universe is not quite as you thought it was.

You’d better rearrange your beliefs, then.

Because you certainly can’t rearrange the universe."

- Isaac Asimov

The Mars Timeline Mobile App (Free)

After years of research and about 6 months of development, a new project of mine has come to fruition: the Mars Timeline mobile app. It is a tribute to humanity's effort to conquer Mars, an encyclopedia containing every mission ever sent to the Red Planet.

downl;oad it and enjoy mission overviews, detailed technical information of spacecraft, and galleries of rare images. Enjoy the story of Mars exploration all for free and without advertisements, of course, as I believe that we should not put a price on knowledge.

Quote of the Month

"The problem with today’s world is that

everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion

AND have others listen to it.

The correct statement of individual rights is that

everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially,

that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of,

particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!"

- Professor Brian Cox

History Was Made Yesterday...

... and not by SpaceX!

Although, to be fair, what SpaceX is trying to do from orbit (not from a mere 100 km) is infinitely harder. Still, kudos to Blue Origins!

Quote of the Month

"Just because science doesn't know everything

doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps

with whatever fairytale most appeals to you."

- Dara O'Briain

Quote of the Month

"If your plan is for one year, plant rice;

If your plan is for ten years, plant trees;

If your plan is for a hundred years, educate children."

- Confucius

Quote of the Month

"The most dangerous phrase in the language is

‘we’ve always done it this way’."

- Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper

Quote of the Month

"Nothing in life is to be feared,

it is only to be understood.

Now is the time to understand more,

so that we may fear less."

- Marie Curie

Quote of the Month

"We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements

profoundly depend on science and technology.

We have also arranged things so that

almost no one understands science and technology.

This is a prescription for disaster.

We might get away with it for a while,

but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power

is going to blow up in our faces."

- Carl Sagan

Quote of the Month

"Where there is evidence,

no one speaks of ‘faith’.

We do not speak of faith that two and two are four

or that the earth is round.

We only speak of faith

when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence."

- Bertrand Russell

Quote of the Month

"A central lesson of science is that to understand complex issues (or even simple ones),

we must try to free our minds of dogma and to guarantee the freedom to publish,

to contradict, and to experiment.

Arguments from authority are unacceptable."

- Carl Sagan
