Exiles to Glory - 2
- EXILES TO GLORY: 2 - A black ink and gray pencil drawing on an 11 x 14 size vellum paper. It appears on page 118 of, "Galaxy, Oct. 1977".
Almost every great venture accomplished by man was initially ridiculed by some of the great leaders of the world; The effort by Columbus to find new routes over uncharted seas was scoffed at by scientists and holy leaders who insisted the world was flat, that the Nina, the Pinta and Santa Maria would fall off the edge of the world. The effort by NASA to put a man on the Moon was scoffed at by some men of science and some leaders in our government who opposed the project, claiming it an impossibility, gravity would prevent it, airless space would deny men the breath of life.
But if you want to accomplish something that seems impossible, you first have to deny what others tell you about the seemingly insurmountable obstacles. You have to believe that you have the capability to do the things you want to do. Ability and accomplishment come from the power latent in "believing".
To most people the conquest of space is unimaginable, but in time the "believers" will come along and build the great spaceships that will take them to the stars. Some of those stars will bring them death, some will bring them new lives, and with other stars they will find nothing and go on, and on, because that is their destiny.
. . . Because that is our destiny.
