Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen. - Robert A. Heinlein
"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address

I still recall a part of that book wherein the kids ridicule their father for recounting how he struck an accelerating and spinning mass with a lever in a one gee field, such being scientifically impossible with human reflexes. The father, of course was talking about hitting a baseball. Just classic.
