    I Missed A Quote, Help Me Out

    i saw an interesting quote but i missed the "pause" button and i didnt finish it...

    it said something like "space will be colonised[brits :P], but perhaps not by us americans... ... lose nerve..." thats all i got...

    anyone know the full quote, perhaps even the guy who sumbitted it?

        i found it after rifling through the quotes wanted thread.

        "Space will be colonised - although possibly not by us [Americans]. If we lose our nerve, there are plenty of other people on this planet. The construction crews may speak Chinese or Russian - Swahili or Portuguese. It does not take "good old American know-how" to build a city in space. The Laws of Physics work just as well for others as they do for us."

              You misunderstood what he was saying. All he was really trying to do was get us to build that space city sooner so that he could see it before his death under the threat that somone (snicker) else could build it.

                  I think he should have been pushing for them to build those body-armour jump suits...
                  I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
