Call it perhaps the sheer pleasure of finding out, of understanding. Certainly Stephen Hawking represents that. Now, whether we will fund our curiosity and search into the unknown depends on how much money we spend on the opposite expense: killing each other and tearing civilization down.

He should have honorary astronaut wings. Stephen Hawking deserves to be one of the first civilians to go in space. He should have honorary astronaut wings.
