But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident.

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.

It appears that there are enormous differences of opinion as to the probability of a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life. The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management.

Why make yourself miserable saying things like, "Why do we have such bad luck? What has God done to us? What have we done to deserve this?" - all of which, if you understand reality and take it completely into your heart, are irrelevant and unsolvable. They are just things that nobody can know. Your situation is just an accident of life.

People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me!

By honest I don't mean that you only tell what's true. But you make clear the entire situation. You make clear all the information that is required for somebody else who is intelligent to make up their mind.

There is enough energy in a single cubic meter of space to boil all the oceans in the world.
