This proves once again what could happen if one is not to follow the herd.

  “He called this in the 70s, he said this would be possible. It's only possible now because these brand new lasers are capable of doing it.“ He knew it would work 50 years ago. I imagine there are ideas being discussed today that will come to fruition 50 years from now. ... or 30 years. Our choice.

    Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage come to mind.

    Yes. This was my favorite quote. With slightly more context: You know what's amazing? Heinrich is old, he's 84 or so. He called this in the 70s, he said this would be possible. It's only possible now because these brand new lasers are capable of doing it. That, in my mind, is awesome.
