Nobody got it or nobody was interested.The question was...
Q. What do the fact that the Cuban Missile Crisis didn't end in mass slaughter and the first close-up photos of Uranus have in common?
The answer is...
They are 2 fantastic things which came about as a direct result of people disobeying orders.
A russian submariner was ordered to destroy an american ship but refused the order. had he done it we would probably have had WW3. Read about it here. http://bit.ly/f2EG9v
As for the photos, the scientists who made the voyager satellites were told to make something that could only go to Jupiter and Saturn. They knew they could make something much better so they built the thing the way that they wanted anyway so they could do all the research they wanted and launched it in the right time frame so it would all work. Then (and I am paraphrasing here obviously) when it went past Saturn they said...
"By the way"if you want...we COULD do X, Y and Z as well...only if you want of course"
