The children of the white families in town were not permitted to associate with me, because my father was committing the then unpardonable crime, in Southern eyes, of educating negroes.

You have debased my child....You have made him a laughingstock of intelligence...a stench in the nostrils of the gods of the ionosphere.

I am bold enough to say that a man-made Moon voyage will never occur regardless of all scientific advances.

I foresee great refinements in the field of short-pulse microwave signaling, whereby several simultaneous programs may occupy the same channel, in sequence, with incredibly swift electronic communication... Short waves will be generally used in the kitchen for roasting and baking, almost instantaneously...

While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility.

Man will never reach the Moon, regardless of all future scientific advances.
