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.


If America and Europe carry on the way we're going, the only reason for
going to Mars will be to see first-hand how the Chinese are getting on
