“The probability of success is difficult to estimate; but if we never search the chance of success is zero.”
A quote from Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison’s paper ‘Searching for Interstellar Communications’ that was published in September 1959, one of the first formal rational arguments supporting the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
This didn't quite turn out as I had imagined (hence the quote, which is also related to space), but it is still nice ^u^
