Each time a task or milestone is completed on a NASA project a statement is issued. Almost always these statements are made in a very profound manner. ("A small step....", "A new Heartbeat ,,,")They sound as if Moses had popped up from behind a rock and issued an edict. Do you have to take a course in profoundity or do the surroundings, the enormity of the importance of the tasks to science, and the amazement of what you are doing make these profound statements second nature?

Personally, I would guess that it is the latter.
