QUESTION 1

"Towards the end of my visit, I went to the Wallops Flight Facility at Wallops Island in East Coast, Virginia. This place was the base for NASA's sounding rocket programme. Here, I saw a painting prominently displayed in the reception lobby. It depicted a battle scene with a few rockets flying in the background. A painting with this theme should be the most commonplace thing at a Flight Facility. One day, my curiosity got the better of me, drawing me towards the painting. It turned out to be X’s army. The painting depicted a fact forgotten in X's own country but commemorated here on the other side of the planet.”

• In the year 1971, Michael Hart was a student of Human-Machine Interfaces at UIUC. During his time at UIUC, the university’s computer centre gave him a user account on its computer system. Hart's brother's best friend was the mainframe operator. Due to this fact, he received an account with a virtually unlimited amount of computer time. It’s value at that time has been variously estimated at $100,000 or $100,000,000. Hart thought that he wanted to "give back" this gift by doing something that could be considered to be of great value. Although the focus of computer use there tended to be data processing, Michael Hart was aware that the computers were connected to the ARPANET (what would later become the internet) and he chose to use his computer time for information distribution. Michael Hart had recently acquired a copy of the United States Declaration of Independence, which he had been given at a grocery store. He typed the text into the computer but was told that it would be unacceptable to transmit it to numerous people at once via email. Thus, to avoid crashing the system, he made the text available for people to download instead.
