Beijing Quote by Randall Munroe
“Space is about 100 kilometers away. That’s far away—I wouldn’t want to climb a ladder to get there—but it isn’t that far away. If you’re in Sacramento, Seattle, Canberra, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Phnom Penh, Cairo, Beijing, central Japan, central Sri Lanka, or Portland, space is closer than the sea.”
![“Go walk the streets of Beijing. It's pretty hard to argue it isn't a modern city. Now, if you go outside [of Beijing], in the rural areas, that's true. But rural America, you can say the same thing, in Appalachia there's an awful lot of poverty and lack of education.” quote by Michael Bloomberg](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/726/michael-bloomberg-1293_america_go-walk-the-streets-of-beijing-it-s-pret_482884.jpg)
