The common dandelion (a.k.a. Taraxacum officinale) and the magic behind the flight of its seeds: they fly using ‘impossible’ method never before seen in nature. The seeds contain a lot of open space, which seems to be the key to sustaining flight. 'Nature has optimized something so beautiful.' - Dr. Siobhan Braybrook (UCLA)
"Organic as a dandelion seed, [ the ship of our imagination ] will carry us to worlds of dreams and worlds of facts. Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere." - Carl Sagan
