Ever hear the story of the little engine that could? He kept saying,
"I think I can,I think I can" and he did make it up the hill.

If a person constantly says he can't do something ( something that he
has the capactiy to succeed in ) he will not succeed. It's called,
and I think you know this, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A long time ago, but within modern history, a bunch of colonies
decided that they wanted to do what had never been done befo break
from it's parent country.

That little group of colonies grew to a super power that has made as
many mistakes as any other but did things that no other country has in
the history of our world.

I have no doubt that we can go to Mars and beyond....

But if we all decide we can't then we will not.
