I like books like ‘The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher,’ where the investigation of a crime becomes a way into an exploration of the society where the crime took place.
What, of course, we want in a university is for people to learn the skills they’re going to need outside the classroom. So, having a system that had more emphasis on inquiry and exploration but also on learning and practising specific skills would fit much better with how we know people learn.
Human exploration is something that’s been going on for thousands of years, and the models that worked 500 years ago are likely to work again today.
St. Jude’s mission is not about rockets or space exploration, it’s about treating some of the most heart wrenching conditions that any parent could imagine.
A lot of our creative flow comes from a place of curiosity and exploration. It often feels like we’re excavating and asking questions and not just giving answers but really just exploring.
I hope that vigorous space exploration continues and that humankind will have a space station that resides between Earth and the moon. Outside the gravitational field of Earth, we could launch robotic spacecraft to other destinations in our solar system.
And, one thing I definitely enjoyed personally, from a selfish point of view, was exploration and going to places that I had never been to before and learning, you know, meeting the people and getting to know, new sights and sounds, etc.
For three hundred years we have had our focus on the individual. We have distinguished him from the objective world as the Middle Ages did not think of doing. We have given him the world and the universe as a playground for exploration and discovery.
This is going to sound ridiculous, but I read in an interview with Lil Wayne that he recorded a mixtape of something like 50 straight minutes of him rapping all of his material because he felt like he could never move on to the next phase of his musical exploration if he didn’t get it down on tape.
I’ve always been a fan of space exploration, and I filled our entire office with space artifacts.
At the age of nine, I simultaneously fell in love with two Dutch sisters because they seemed so beautifully strange, and their clothes were mysterious and alluring – added to which, they could not speak a word of English. More than anything, I wanted to connect with them and embark on a vast journey of exploration.
‘God Loves Uganda’ is a powerful exploration of the evangelical campaign to change African culture with values imported from America’s Christian Right. The film follows American and Ugandan religious leaders fighting ‘sexual immorality’ and missionaries trying to convince Ugandans to follow Biblical law.
The good is, like nature, an immense landscape in which man advances through centuries of exploration.
We humans were built for exploration, and we were built to do it together.
I think a part of me thought that I might be interested in academia because I really do love school. I mean that on all levels – I like educational environments; I like being part of that community of learning and exploration. And I like to talk.
Most of my films have a lot of character development and exploration, whereas in most horror movies the characters are just cardboard.
Resilience is one of the most important aspects in this business and exploration period.
As much as with increased exploration new gas reserves can be found, what must be obvious to all is that our oil and gas reserves are not renewable and they are diminishing, and to protect the generations to come, we must engage in nothing short of a radical shift in the diversification of the economy.
In any ‘big science’ enterprise, like planetary exploration, where you must work in big teams of similarly driven people, it is important also to know how to work alongside others even when they may be your fiercest competitors.
Because of technologies from space exploration, we can begin to understand our world’s origins, and our lives are improving. These are the reasons why dedicating a life to the sciences and space exploration is so meaningful and rewarding.
My grandfather was a very successful businessman. He started off as an engineer, but moved to sales to management to executive over a long career. For a while, before I was born, he was the CEO of an oil and gas exploration company.
Sometimes you realize that the thing an actor is asking for isn’t exactly the thing they want. Maybe they’re asking for more dialogue, or maybe they want a deep intellectual exploration of their role. But probably what they really need is encouragement.
There’s no question that you can explore aspects of yourself through roles that you play, and you get a chance to investigate yourself; that’s healthy, and it’s therapeutic in a way. But if you’re indulging yourself, exploration at the cost of the story or the project, that’s not good.
Often it’s the case that we have to do a lot of exploration and marketing of the material we publish ourselves to get a big political impact for it.
The bigger shift in space exploration won’t be commercial crew – that will be a validation of something we already knew was going to be the case. It will be when you have a fully private company launching everyday citizens. When people know people in their communities who have been to space on a daily basis.
Retain the vision for space exploration. If we turn our backs on the vision again, we’re going to have to live in a secondary position in human space flight for the rest of the century.
I love the exploration of someone who has such a different background from you. That exploration runs to compassion and to cracking yourself open and creating more understanding of how weird and amazing life is.
I believe we need a more opportunistic and democratic approach to lunar exploration, now that we’re shifting from U.S. government-sponsored space exploration to private expeditions.
Space is a laboratory, an experiment in all forms of all things, an infinity of possibilities, properties, and places that cry out for investigation and exploration.
The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way.
We often mistake the artificial chemical and psychological thrill of fake edges for the real. In fact we often seek them out as a substitute for the reality of change, growth and exploration. Our minds and bodies help us in this, as they react much the same to this simulations as to the real world.
I believe that history will record Inspiration4 as a pivotal moment in space exploration, as another important step towards humanity’s next great rendezvous with destiny out in space.
Exploration is the engine that drives innovation. Innovation drives economic growth.
CSF and its members believe strongly in the exploration of space of all kinds, including commercial purposes.
We are often raised as dependents then given over to teachers. It’s experience and exploration that can transform us and lead to mastery.
We didn’t have a television, so I grew up with books. This isn’t to suggest I’m an intellectual, but I do read a lot because part of acting is an exploration of literature.
I have absolutely no idea about space exploration. I’m a software guy. But because I’m a non-expert, I’ve been able to bring the software concept of modularity into the space sector, which was never done before.
We need to explore our own deserts and land, which need to be healed and managed on the planet itself. It is not the time to use and throw this planet and we need to explore deep within more than without. Space exploration should be used to quench human thirst.
I honestly do think that it is critical that we are continuously breaking records, because that represents us moving forward in exploration.
Corporations have been killing the risk-taking and exploration that makes software great. They have tried to rip the soul out of development.
I don’t see myself as a hero because what I’m doing is self-interested: I don’t want to live in a world where there’s no privacy and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity.
All space exploration is risky. As an astronaut, I had to decide each and every time I went to space whether or not to risk my life for the mission.
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
We need a NASA-like organization for ocean exploration, because we need to be exploring and protecting our life support systems here on Earth.
I’ve often argued that oil and gas exploration is a state’s rights issue. It is abundantly clear that the State of Florida does not want drilling to negatively affect its beaches and shores.
The need for a detailed, comprehensive examination of the Saturn system became clear during the early 1980s, after the two Voyager spacecraft made flybys of the planet. These celebrated events were the opening acts in the story of humanity’s exploration of Saturn.
Space exploration promised us alien life, lucrative planetary mining, and fabulous lunar colonies. News flash, ladies and gents: Space is nearly empty. It’s a sterile vacuum, filled mostly with the junk we put up there.
There’s this fabulous innovation ship called Unreasonable at Sea, where I’m a mentor. One of the companies there was called Protei, and they’re an open hardware ocean exploration and monitoring idea.
