Remote Manipulator System

Famous quotes containing the words remote and/or system:

“Space isn’t remote at all. It’s only an hour’s drive away if your car could go straight upwards.”
—Fred, Sir Hoyle (b. 1915)

“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
