When Patrick Troughton arrived in the Tardis, some viewers decried that the show was dead. Decades later, he is considered one of the best Doctors ever. We’re experiencing the same stuff today. A large group of people don’t like the show anymore and cannot fathom that anyone else is still enjoying it. The biggest difference now is that there is an entire industry of reactionaries who rely on that warped POV to make a living. They fan the flames of dissent to get more views. It’s overwhelmingly stupid. If you don’t like the show, don’t watch it. If you like it, don’t let anybody tell you why you shouldn’t. #doctorwho #doctor #tardis #scifi #space #time #travel #fun #adventure #excitement

A quotation from Oppenheimer

However, it is my judgment in these things that when you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.

J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) American theoretical physicist, "Father of the Atomic Bomb" [Julius Robert Oppenheimer]
“In the matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer,” testimony transcript, US Atomic Energy Commission, Personnel Security Board (1954-04-13)

A quotation from Douglas Adams

I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
 
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
 
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
 
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English writer
The Salmon of Doubt (2002)

was unable to find an artist name, will attribute it if anyone knows it

There are a few sources on the web for covers of this magazine. The ones that I saw are almost all like this; I think it's deliberate 🤣 I can imagine the publisher saying, I want kids to see it in a newsstand from a block away.

Interesting abstract complexity on the ship, space suits, guns, etc. I like the transparent helmet. 2 headed sea monster, why not? Big Sun
