“Space can be mapped and crossed and occupied without definable limit; but it can never be conquered. When our race has reached its ultimate achievements, and the stars themselves are scattered no more widely than the seed of Adam, even then we shall still be like ants crawling on the face of the Earth. The ants have covered the world, but have they conquered it - for what do their countless colonies know of it, or of each other?” KnowsWorldStillsEarthFacesStarsSpaceRaceLimitsAchievementUltimateSeedsCoveredAdamAntsColonySpace TravelCrawling Author:Arthur C.
