“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Europa, or bust!


"ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE"
Did we learn nothing from Kubrick? wink emoticon
NASA is planning a landing mission to the Jovian moon Europa, which besides Earth is the most likely of all system bodies to harbor life, as liquid water is known to be plentiful there below the frozen surface.
Caution: If any black monoliths are discovered, abandon the mission, tout suite.

Tout de suite
Meaning: At once.
Origin: At once, or right away, is the literal translation of this French phrase. This is very often written incorrectly as tout suite.
