"You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back." Vincent, explaining to Anton how he beat him in the swim competition
In their earlier swim competitions, Anton always beat Vincent. Vincent, being sick of losing, finally wins when he gives it his all. He doesn't save any energy for the swim back, desperate to beat Anton. What Vincent is saying is that you should always give your very best effort, and to never look back on anything. This quote can also refer to his success on getting into the space program. No matter about his physical condition, he can be successful when he gave it his very best.

The Wonders of Biodiversity
The plant we were experimenting with was Kohlrabi. It is a commonly eaten vegetable. Particularly, in German speaking countries. The taste and texture is similar to a broccoli stem or cabbage heart. It can be eaten raw or cooked. There are several varieties such as White Vienna, Purple Vienna, Grand Duke, Purple Danube, and White Danube. What I can tell about the organism is that it is artificially selected for lateral meristem growth. Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, and brussels sprouts are all in it's origin of nature. I can predict some traits the offsprings will have a spherical shape and green leaves coming off of it.
