Hubble is a testament to the spirit of discovery that marked the century behind us, and a challenge for us in the century ahead. President John F. Kennedy once said of space, “[T]his is the new ocean, and I believe the United States must sail on it and be in a position second to none.” In the decades that followed, largely because of Kennedy’s vision, Americans united to sail on that ocean, and to record together some of the greatest achievements in human history.
Our own generation, standing on the shoulders of those before us, can reach farther, dare greater and explore deeper into space than anyone could have dreamed 100 years ago. From Mars to the planets beyond, from distant moons to orbiting asteroids, humanity will inch farther into the horizon that Hubble revealed, and the American flag will be planted in places untouched since the beginning of time.
