Portugal is a small country. There is no way we could round up 72 virgins for you.

Magalhães circumnavigation around the globe is still my high watermark of crazy human explorational achievements. Landing on the moon was planned and predictable by comparison. But without Afonso de Albuquerque on that trip a decade later, he kind of lost his mind and turned it into a personal suicide mission where Elcano had to salvage it.
We still honor that crazy trip in the Lisbon subway
