Koltanofski (sp?) was one of the all time greatest chess players.
~50 years ago, I saw him playing about a dozen simultaneous blindfold
games.
He had a neighbor who used to come by and they would play a few games
every day.  Over time, they played many hundreds of games, but the
neighbor never won.  Finally, one day, he won a game.  But then he
disappeared and wasn't seen for months.  When he eventually showed up, and
was asked what happened, he replied, "Well, once you've beaten the great
Koltanofski at chess, why bother to play anymore?"


Alas, once NASA reached their well defined goal, they couldn't see a
reason to play anymore.
