““THERE IS A saying I happen to like: Adventure is a sign of incompetence. I find that there is a lot of truth to it; after all, consummate professionals don’t go out looking for adventure and rarely find any. After a certain level of competence is reached, you are simply playing it safe all the time while executing your plans, and adventure becomes routine. After all, why would you take unnecessary risks if you know better? That is why the adventures of incompetent people make interesting stories, while the adventures of competent people do not—because they aren’t really adventures at all but random mishaps.””

I've also done some gravity tests with ZERO-G [a charter-flight service in Arlington, Va., that uses modified Boeing 727s to simulate weightlessness], which went great.” quote by Richard Branson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/aa1/richard-branson-256_adventure_i-ve-used-the-phoenix-centrifuge-to-repl_903.jpg)
