“Most automobiles spend about 80 percent of their time sitting around doing nothing. They're gasoline powered; they go to very high speeds, which in fact, under urban conditions, you don't need. These high speeds generate enormous safety requirements and so on and so forth. Now you can incrementally tweak the automobile. You can make the power train more efficient and you can enhance safety and all of these sorts of things that are very worthwhile.” NeedsFactsConditionsPercentSittingSafetyTrainSpeedEnormousWorthwhileEfficientUrbanRequirementsDoing NothingAutomobileSitting AroundGasolineHigh SpeedTweak Author:William J.

“The language of commerce has been engineered to describe the overt purpose of a thing, but cannot encompass fringe benefits or peripheral pleasures. It weighs the obvious against what in its terms are incomprehensible. When I drive from here to there, speed, privacy, control, and safety are easy to claim. When I walk, what happens is more vague, more ambiguous-and in many circumstances much richer. I am out in the world. It's exercise, though not so quantifiably as on a treadmill in a gym with a digital readout.” WorldHas BeensHappensPurposeLanguageEasyTermWalksPleasureCircumstancesExerciseBenefitsClaimsSafetyEnvironmentalObviousSpeedPrivacyDigitalGymSustainabilityCommerceVagueFringeAmbiguousTreadmills Author:Rebecca Solnit
“You know, and I know, the cause of this accident. It is due to the adventurous, pioneering spirit of our race. It has been like in the past, it is like that in the present, and I hope it will be in the future. Here is a great imaginative project, to build a machine with twice the speed and twice the height of any existing machine in the world. We all went into it with our eyes wide open. We were conscious of the dangers that were lurking in the unknown. We did not know what fate was going to hold out for us in the future.” KnowsWorldHas BeensEyePastSpiritCausesRaceFateDangerProjectsConsciousMachinesSafetyWideDuesSpeedAccidentsHeightAviationImaginativeAdventurousLurkingPioneeringEyes Wide OpenPioneering Spirit Author:John Moore-Brabazon, 1st Baron Brabazon of Tara

“Since I'm not focusing on my speed as much now as I was heading into the combine, I'm really focusing on my position work, trying to perfect how I play the safety position.
