Sorry Raoul, I don't believe in "Can't".
REB — (archived)

Many things we do today were impossible centuries or even decades ago. People have said “Man can’t fly” and “Man will never go to the Moon”, but yet Man seems to find a way to do the impossible.

I don’t believe in “Can’t do it”. There is a way to do everything, we just have to find it. He first step in failure is saying you can’t do it- that it is impossible. The first step towards success is saying you can do it.

Maybe you are right, “We” won’t do it. It will be our descendants. Carl Sagan said something to that effect in Pale Blue Dot. It was something like, “It won’t be us who travels among the stars, it will be beings (Our descendants) very much like us with more of our strengths and few of our weaknesses.

I believe that nothing is impossible, you just have to find the answers.

Look beyond the horizon, aspire to go there, dream about, vision it, and set the foundation for it. Perhaps “We” may not do it, but the foundation we lay could insure our descendants do it.
