Hope is powerful. It is what inspired 56 colonists to pledge their "Lives, Fortunes and sacred Honor" to fight for freedom against the strongest military empire in the world; it is what pushed a woman from Dorchester to look to the stars to guide her brothers and sisters North to freedom from slavery; and it drove a President to look to those same constellations just one hundred years later to declare the Moon as our next frontier while the industry and genius of a nation took a "giant leap for mankind," reached for the heavens, and, as some would say, touched the face of God.
