InSight Into What It Takes To Get To Mars From The Scientists and Engineers That Will Take Us There
The youth of today will likely have the opportunity to travel far past the reaches of Earth’s gravity to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, but getting there will not be easy. Instead, it will take individuals with a pioneer spirit fueled by imagination, the ability to collaborate with others, and the willingness to stay focused on solving seemingly impossible tasks over long periods of time. “Dare Mighty Things” takes you behind the scenes at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the landing of InSight on the surface of Mars to learn from NASA/JPL scientists and engineers the behaviors and characteristics that made it possible and ways that we can develop these skills within ourselves and our gifted children. The future is now!

Mars for granted.
Mars is hard.

37. Far better is it to
DARE
MIGHTY THINGS
to win glorious triumphs,
even though checkered by failure,
than to rank with those poor spirits
who neither enjoy nor suffer much,
because they live in a gray twilight
that knows neither victory nor defeat.

50. It is not the strongest that survives,
Nor the most intelligent….
It is the one that is most
ADAPTABLE TO CHANGE.
Those that have learned to
COLLABORATE
and IMPROVISE will prevail.

52. How NOT to form groups.
1. Write each student’s name on an index card.
2. Deal the cards into 4 equal piles according to
student ability (High, Medium High, Medium
Low, and Low)
3. Choose one card from each pile.
53. When I die, I want
the people I did
group projects with
to lower me into
my grave so they
can let me down
one last time.

Be good at what
you do. There are a
LOT of others who
want to do this.

85. The greater danger for most of us
lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short;
but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
