about
Space Ship One Trilogy #3:
Never ask why. "Why not?" perhaps. A true engineer asks "How?"
lyrics
Raise your glass to the Engineer who made composites fly,
And raise a toast to the white winged ships that soar above the sky.
And sing of inspiration with a voice that's raised on high
--And praise to the man who questioned "How?", instead of asking "Why?"
Raise your glass to the Financier, the Engineer's Ally.
'Cause for those who'd innovate, money's in short supply.
He's made a grand investment; there's none that can deny.
--So here's to a man who questioned "How?", instead of asking "Why?"
Raise your glass to the test Pilots, who weren't afraid to die
For when you fly an unknown craft, so much can go awry.
But they grabbed the future boldly, and they flew beyond the sky.
--Yes here's to the men who questioned "How?", instead of asking "Why?"
Raise a toast to the Rocketeers, their thunder filled the sky.
Though laughing gas and rubber seems a funny way to fly.
Still, they built a hybrid engine that’s the safest you can buy.
--So here's to the men who questioned "How?", instead of asking "Why?"
Raise your glass to the proud builders, who laid-up carbon ply,
And baked her in an autoclave till she was strong and dry.
They built a ship of elegance, on which you can rely,
--Yes here's to the men who questioned "How?", instead of asking "Why?"
So, raise your glass to the Engineer who made composites fly.
And raise a toast to all the men who weren't afraid to try.
Why you can glimpse the future when you look 'em in the eye.
--Yes, here's to the men who questioned "How?", instead of asking "Why?"
--Oh, the future's made by asking "How?" Not by asking "Why?"
