invent that tomorrow, you need scientists, engineers and
technologists to do that and when you innovate, you pump
the economy like no other force of nature can.” – Neil
deGrasse Tyson
• “The earth is the cradle of the mind, but one cannot forever
live in a cradle.” – Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1896)
• “I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to
myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the
sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a
smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the
great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
- Isaac Newton
