“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Do you want me to give my comments on it? As technologist ;-p
No, no need, that was all PR. I worked for Chris when he ran the Earth Observing System Program (EOS) at NASA. That was (3) $1b satellites (Terra/ Aqua/ Aura) and a Ground/Observer System. I worked on Instruments, the 2nd bus (Aura) and the GIS ground system. He went on to becoming Chief Engineer for NASA at HQ, and eventually Acting NASA Administrator, as well as GSFC Center Director.
"" 00:00 I had and I still have a tremendous amount of persistence once I get on a puzzle I can't get off I mean if she had told me never mind it's too much work I'd have blown my top because I want to beat this damn thing""
Yeah. Totally my feelings. This idea... is a puzzle. Very interesting puzzle to solve. Indeed.
