Today is the 100th anniversary of powered human flight.

100 years ago to the day the Wright brothers sailed their 1903 flyer off the dunes at Kittyhawk and into history.

Thank you Wilbur and Orville.
 
next to (and due to)computer technology, air travel is one of the most rapidly advanced technologies of all time.

Now if we could just make the next leap forward in air travel and get rid of these damp congested airports, we'd be set.
 
One of man's greatest acts of defiance against the will of God marks its 100th anniversary today.

Here's to Wilbur and Orville, and the dream they have fulfilled for human freedom.

Yesterday, the skies...today, Earth orbit and the moon...tomorrow, the entire cosmos itself!
 
Don't forget the human powered aircraft (and spacecraft) of ancient india.

This ancient indian civilization was destroyed in an ancient nuclear war. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the chief inventors of the modern nuclear bomb was aware of this, and when a student asked him if the bomb exploded at Alamogordo during the Manhattan Project the first one to be detonated, Oppenheimer responded, "Well -- yes. In modern times," for he knew that there had been prior nuclear detonations in ancient times.

Similarly, Orville and Wilbur achieved the first human flight "in modern times," but it was not the first human flight ever, because ancient civilizations had flying technology.

Orville and Wilbur had proof since they knew even 100 years ago that you have pics or it did not happen.
