Learning Vs. Doing
Knowledge is important, but sooner or later you’ve got to put it to use. To learn is superb, but to do is divine!
NEWS FLASH! The USAF’s X-51A Waverider, a hypersonic scramjet, set a new speed record yesterday of Mach 6. Binky refuses to confirm rumors he was involved, and denies that he is in any way related to a Charlie Brink who definitely was involved. You can read about it here.
Rockets are just superbly divine! 🙂
You won’t get any argument from me!
This reminds me of Jurassic Park III: Some people are astronomers, they take thrill in the theory and just knowing the things are there. Other people are astronauts, they have to actually go there and touch the thing to feel the thrill of it. (yes, I don’t remember the quote exactly)
And some are just crazy, rocket-obsessed, thrill-seeking Wombies who will make any excuse to design, build, and launch backyard rockets!
