The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.

Engineering is the science of economy, of conserving the energy, kinetic and potential, provided and stored up by nature for the use of man. It is the business of engineering to utilize this energy to the best advantage, so that there may be the least possible waste.

My latter schooldays and my university days were during the war, when science - physics, in particular - was a very important and glamorous subject. A lot of us felt that if we couldn't get into science, we might try engineering or medicine.

There is no one area of chemical engineering that specifically helped me in my career as an astronaut, it was more the general education in engineering. Also, it was a very difficult and rigorous course. So, it made me strong and resourceful.

Automotive Engineering
In the hands of science ---
The complete appliance.
Were moved to motor.
Do you fly a spitfire?
Do you slide on a tea-tray?
Or walk on a short trip (sundays).
Or drive come what may (enjoy).
Automotive science and engineering.
When big was better ---
And fast was chic,
The oil was cheaper ---
Now were up the creek.
But the japs are coming
And everyones turbod
And carbon fibre
Is the way to go, go.
Down at the robot factory
Things are humming.
New radical suspension ---
No humans testing.
(wind it up, wind it up.)
Take a trip
In your freudian slip.
Doctor ferdinand (ferdie)
Has you in his grip.
