child classroom commitment highly inside parents proactive problem solve support unless
There is nothing (educators) can do inside this classroom that is going to solve this problem unless we get the parents to take a more proactive role. And they don't have to be highly educated. All they have to have is a commitment to support this child to get an education.
motivation adventure commitment
In a dispassionate comparison of the relative values of human and robotic spaceflight, the only surviving motivation for continuing human spaceflight is the ideology of adventure. But only a tiny number of Earth's six billion inhabitants are direct participants. For the rest of us, the adventure is vicarious and akin to that of watching a science fiction movie. At the end of the day, I ask myself whether the huge national commitment of technical talent to human spaceflight and the ever-present potential for the loss of precious human life are really justifiable.

I couldn't be more proud of the way we're competing right now.
marked meet past point standards team weekend
The meet this past weekend really marked a point where we set new standards for our team at Hopkins.
avid mechanics science
We had an erector set, and I was an avid fan of Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines.
space quality cost
I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.
army men together
I was a kind of a one-man army. I could solder circuits together, I could turn out things on the lathe, I could work with rockets and balloons. I'm a kind of a hybrid between an engineer and a physicist and astronomer.
men space cost
A man is a fabulous nuisance in space right now. He's not worth all the cost of putting him up there and keeping him comfortable and working.
iowa places-to-go our-family
Our family was very fond of the University of Iowa. We thought it was a good place to go.
writing matter clear
I am never as clear about any matter as when I have finished writing about it.
thinking political needs
I think we need someone in a responsible political position to have the courage to say, 'Let's terminate human spaceflight.'
purpose cost fundamentals
My position is that it is high time for a calm debate on more fundamental questions. Does human spaceflight continue to serve a compelling cultural purpose and/or our national interest? Or does human spaceflight simply have a life of its own, without a realistic objective that is remotely commensurate with its costs? Or, indeed, is human spaceflight now obsolete?
