   Well you’re a survivor Harry.  “That which does not kill us, makes us strong.”  And I love the allegory about the boulder. 

You’ve set down some great ideas in this thread.  And “reaching for the stars” is part of the human spirit.  I think in our hearts we all know it is destined to happen.  Like the “Manifest Destiny” that the pioneers believed in, they all worked together to achieve a country that spanned from “sea to shining sea.” 

The difference between a dream and a reality is the ability to make others dream the same dream.  The more real the dream seems, the more detailed and exacting it is, then the more believers in that dream.

Movies, even more than books, can make a dream seem very real.  So where does this story of the Exodus Interplanetary Space Ship begin?  Do we see it being built first, and ending with it’s maiden voyage?  Or do we see it immediately in action, with flash backs of how it all came to be?
