"When I became the NASA administrator â€” or before I became the NASA administrator â€” (Obama) charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science â€¦ and math and engineering."

The one keeps us on this earth, which is congenial to its nature; the other directs our eye, and tends to lift us up to heaven.”

It was sacred because it involved the indwelling spirit in the student and because it required an awakened spirit in the teachers.
