Qian Xuesen quotes

Qian Xuesen was a renowned Chinese scientist and engineer, often called the "father of Chinese rocketry." His pioneering work in aerodynamics and missile technology laid the foundation for China's space and missile programs. He became a key figure in developing China's first ballistic missiles and space launch vehicles. Here are 3 of his quotes:

The purpose of "Engineering Cybernetics" is then to study those parts of the broad science of cybernetics which have direct engineering applications in designing controlled or guided systems. It certainly includes such topics usually treated in books on servomechanisms. But a wider range of topics is only one difference between engineering cybernetics and servomechanisms engineering. A deeper - and thus more important - difference lies in the fact that engineering cybernetics is an engineering science, while servomechanisms engineering is an engineering practice.

Qian Xuesen

I do not plan to come back. I have no reason to come back.. I plan to do my best to help the Chinese people build up the nation to where they can live with dignity and happiness.
