"You use these things; they don’t use you. If you allow them to use you, you’re sunk. A library is no better than the person who walks into it. A CD-ROM is no better than the people who use it. A computer’s the same way. It’s all been done backwards. The shuttle should have been done 30 years ago. It’s mail-carrying. They’re making topographical photographs of the planet, making atmosphere studies. It doesn’t lift the heart the way landing on the moon did. We should have done the shuttle first and then taken off for the moon and stayed there. Then we should go to Mars. You have to do one to do the other, otherwise you can’t go."
Mission: At The Handle, our goal is to provide fresh perspective, analysis, and discussion of national and international events and issues. Our ultimate goal is to educate our readers, provide a forum where they can share, and highlight the quality of our contributors. We provide a happy medium with relevant discussion, we empower and inspire, and most importantly, we share what matters to us.
Description: The Handle Magazine is an independent web-magazine started in spring 2012 when a group of like-minded college students formed an online media venture as an avenue to provide analysis of life, politics, and culture in America with an emphasis on their relation to the Southeast.
