Perhaps an off the cuff comment by Anton. "Every time I thought I answered a questi0n, I was either completely wrong or it opened up 10 more new questions."

We have read the histories of famous scientists and had a chance to talk to them. One of the themes that continues to pop up is that scientists must be tenacious. The answers, even the proper questions, do not come easily. Years of work can be lost in a 42 second rocket flight that ends in a fire ball. It can take 20 or 30 years for a project or vision to come to fruition. In the words of Ms.Barge, "do the students of today, with the instant gratification and fast technology, have the tenacity and training to see long term projects through to the end. Can you keep going after the project you worked on fails because a door will not open in space?

I am convinced that we have many students in the group that either have the necessary dedication, or can see the value of developing it. Angry Birds not withstanding.....

Thank you NASA, UChicago, and the very dedicated crew here at UChicago, it has been well worth the time and I have learned a great amount!
