“You can't. Do you hear me? You think you've figured something out? You run over here so pleased with yourself because you changed your mind. Now you're certain. You're so... sloppy. You don't know anything. The book, the math, the dates, the writing, all that stuff you decided with your buddies, it's just evidence. It doesn't finish the job. It doesn't prove anything.” ThinkingKnowsWritingMindBookRunningJobsCertainStuffChangedProveEvidenceDecidedLogicMathCertaintyUncertaintyReasoningBuddyOntologySloppyYou Changed Author:David Auburn

“One of my first experiences with the space program was with the memorial that was built for the Challenger. When I was in 7th grade my entire class spent the entire school year preparing to launch a spaceship all together. We all had our different jobs that we had to learn how to do, we learned the math that you needed, we learned the practical skills that you needed, and I thought that was really cool. So I think that if you can take a tragedy and find the gold in it and turn it into something positive, that's great.” IfsThinkingYearsFirstsDifferentSchoolTogetherJobsTurnsSpaceClassNeededSkillsBuiltProgramGoldTragedyMathPracticalsGradesPreparingMemorialReally CoolSpaceshipsDifferent JobsSpace ProgramSchool YearsPractical Skills Author:Jonathan Nolan
