An Alexander Abian quote:
I am raising the petulant finger of defiance to the solar organization for the first time in 5 billion years.
Taken from a "People", June 24, 1991, article about his idea of nuking the moon. The goal of which, according to Abian, was to straighten the angle of earth's rotation and thus stabilize the climate, and to basically make things better. Earthquakes did not factor into his equations I suppose.
