no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund
hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from
its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903,
orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered
flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, "okay, we
admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we
admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever
walk on the face of the moon." if we can send three men a
quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely,
is there any great task we cannot accomplish?
