Barney Oliver
" No one can deny the excitement of visiting another world. "

Barney Oliver
" Present annual world energy consumption is about equal to the annihilation energy of 4 tons of matter. "

Barney Oliver
" Surely the joining through common technology of these two independent but sentient life forms would be evolution's finest hour. "
