Humans tried to fly for over 50,000 years, only figuring it out 104
years ago. In other words, for 99.8% of our history, we tried -- and
failed -- to fly. Yet, amazingly, that knowledge is now available to
anyone on the planet for the cost of a used Chevy Lumina.



Well, to pick a nit or two, humans have been flying longer than 104 years.
The Wright brothers get credit for the "first controlled, powered and
sustained heavier-than-air human flight" - that's a lot of qualifiers...

everything." -Otto Lilienthal
