"C J Campbell" wrote in message ... Someone might have said the same thing to the Wrights. Where's the similarity? The Wrights were the first to achieve powered, sustained, controlled heavier-than-air flight. Nobody had accomplished that before the Wrights on December 17, 1903. But manned suborbital flight HAS been accomplished before, four times before, and it was last done over forty years ago. If manned suborbital spaceflight had any real usefulness why did it stop? Actually, I believe they were the first to achieve powered, sustained, controlled, heavier-than-air-flight, which was properly documented and recorded.
