The revolution will not be VR'd.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised
Will not be televised, will not be televised
The revolution will be no re-run, brothers
The revolution will be live.
- Gil Scott-Heron

The revolution will not be televised, and it absolutely positively will not be led by some privileged yt Putin loving libertarian bloviating their juvenile shitty ass takes on “communism,” who unironically (but self-servingly!) believes that racism is somehow a secondary problem to classism

"Man would not be a world but a million worlds, a billion worlds... This is Earth. Not the eternal and only home of mankind, but only a starting point of an infinite adventure." -- The End of Eternity, Isaac Asimov, 1955
"Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war... We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon... We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." -- John F. Kennedy, 1962
"Perhaps the only real moral question was whether or not he was working on a new weapon, a new means of dismembering men or destroying cities. And the answer to that was negative. They were building a vehicle to carry instruments around the solar system, and that in itself was, if not worthwhile, at least harmless." -- The Man Who Fell to Earth, Walter Tevis, 1963
"Don't say that he's hypocritical. Say rather that he's apolitical. 'Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department!' says Wernher von Braun." -- Tom Lehrer, 1965
"'You think I'm suffering because I'm lonely. Hell, all Mars is lonely. Much worse than this... We came back,' Pris said, 'because nobody should have to live there. It wasn't conceived for habitation, at least not within the last billion years. It's so old. You feel it in the stones, the terrible old age.'" -- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Philip K. Dick, 1968
"Was all that money I made last year for Whitey on the moon? How come there ain't no money here? Hm! Whitey's on the moon. Y'know I just about had my fill of Whitey on the moon. I think I'll send these doctor bills, airmail special, to Whitey on the moon." -- Gil Scott-Heron, 1970
"We've grown used to wonders in this century. It's hard to dazzle us. But for 25 years the United States space program has been doing just that... We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space." -- Ronald Reagan, 1986
"We are all Godseed, but no more or less so than any other aspect of the universe. Godseed is all there is -- all that Changes. Earthseed is all that spreads Earthlife to new earths. The universe is Godseed. Only we are Earthseed. And the Destiny of Earthseed is to take root among the stars." -- Parable of the Sower, Octavia Butler, 1993
"They should've sent a poet." -- Contact, dir. Robert Zemeckis, 1997
"Life reached an evolutionary milestone when it climbed onto land from the ocean, but those first fish that climbed onto land ceased to be fish. Similarly, when humans truly enter space and are freed from the Earth, they cease to be human. So, to all of you I say this: When you think about heading into outer space without looking back, please reconsider. The cost you must pay is far greater than you could imagine." -- Death's End, Liu Cixin, translated by Ken Liu, 2016
"[A]ll I saw was death." -- William Shatner, 2022
