I'm finding this quotations without referencing the source or using quotes a real annoying trend on HN atm.
It's a form of in-joke/group which is very Reddit and is used to get upvotes because everyone loves being in with the cool kids.
But not everyone has read or watched every classic and knows every famous person of countries X speeches, hence why you attribute the source or even just the speaker, fictional or not.
- bagacrap 10y agoI didn't know who produced this quote but I was able to tell from context that it was a speech (or press release) regarding the moon landing. I feel like I got more out of it then someone who's familiar with it. Is it really that hard to Google the source?
