And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A Soviet Buran space shuttle placed atop an Antonov An-225 transport plane, 1988.
I watched an AN-225 take off from PDX once. It probably had a full load. It used every inch of the runway, and hadn't gained a hell of a lot of altitude by the time it disappeared from sight.
