"But the message of Rocco Petrone's passing is clear, unfortunately:
outstanding engineering effort and achievement pales besides the escapades
of Paris Hilton, Brangelina, and other shallow, easily replaced Hollywood
celebrities whose actual accomplishments are minimal, at best. Sure, that's
got to change, but how to do it?"

The ending is impressed me much. We have been forgotten many important
events and people because of popular culture.

We should read more books like The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle
in the Dark<http://www.amazon.com/Demon-Haunted-World-Science-Candle-Dark/dp/0345409469/sr=8-1/qid=1159966036/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-5928342-8292829?ie=UTF8&s=books>

to critizing the real and filling our minds with the truths...
