Airplane Quote by Bertrand Piccard

“The way the public sees it is this. If we don't leave, we are idiots. If we do leave but don't succeed in our mission, we are incompetent. But if we do succeed, it's because it was easy and anyone could have done it.” quote by Bertrand Piccard — Download Open image
