Read a couple of short biographies this morning - one of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 - 1543) and the other of Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)
What those great minds were able to accomplish with the must rudimentary of instruments and under virtually non-stop ridicule, ostracism, and persecution from fellow scholars, instructors, the Church, and the ruling parties of the day is...astronomical.
