Can you please tell me what is heroic about sitting in climate controlled lab figuring out the payload specs for a space probe qualifies as heroic?

I really hate the bullshit that every "hero" is always about sweat. Evolution isn't about all brawn. The thinkers, can be those whom use their intellect for ill as well. If our species never questioned anything we'd still be using the pony express.
Again, understanding the universe also helps us understand our planet, and our own existence.
And my mother who was a lifetime teacher also worked in a climate controlled setting.
If it were not for engineers and scientists the Apollo 13 3 would not have made it home.
They wouldn't have made it up there either, who's they... the hero commanders and pilots that risked their lives trusting what those people doing their job did.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
