The theme of the song "Race for the Prize" by the Flaming Lips is to go four your dreams and no to let anything get in the way. The lines, "Theirs was to win If it kills them They're just humans with wives and children," show that these two scientists were going for their dreams even if it meant leaving behind their families. They were determined to follow their dreams even if they never fulfilled their dreams, they were going to die trying.
