Did you take that from Obamas inauguration speech?

Maybe most innovation period of human civilization

@@Anvar2308"Development of the automobile started in 1672 with the invention of the first steam-powered vehicle, which led to the creation of the first steam-powered automobile capable of human transportation, built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in 1769." it was literally 2 seconds to find article in wikipedia that was describing the history of automobiles... also: "By the 18th century, people were inflating balloons of cloth or canvas with hot air and sending it aloft, the Montgolfier brothers going so far as to experiment with first animals in 1782, and then, when altitude did not kill them, human beings in 1783. The first hydrogen-filled gas balloon was flown in the 1790s. " "Such progress in a little over a century." -> is just the story of people full of ignorance to all the modern tools that allow them to learn stuff within the blink of an eye...

No he didn’t,the aeroplane existed in various forms before he was born🤷‍♂️

The greatest generation

same way we're watching the dawn of computers all the way to the virtual world

​@@divinesleeperAnd AI yeah. Good observation.

​@@divinesleeper dawn of computers was 1950s though 😢

@@jinjunliu2401 respectfully disagree, the "modern household" computer wasn't really a thing until the late 70s early 80s, just because someone had a closet full of punch cards, tape and vacuum tubes isn't really anything

@@jinjunliu2401Ähm, not... The first computer was in service since 1941 and of course, it was a German invention. The inventor was a construction engineer name Konrad Zuse...

interesting. still a nice museum feature there but one doesn’t want to ride a bicycle in that area today infortunately

The Great Miami River trail and other parhways are nice to ride a bicycle in that area. Is not that bad.

That is really cool, My Grandma was born on the day the Wright brothers flew their airplane.

Yep, my great grandma told me about moving from indiana to kansas in a conastoga style wagon. Saw her first car in in the early 1900s, and it was steered like a boat, with a tiller. She watched the moon shots, and toured the Enterprise space shuttle on family day at Edwards AFB where my uncle was stationed.

U mean 90s?

So wild to think about, in one person's lifetime.

A soldier who took part in the US civil war aged 16 in 1864 could have flown on the first jet airliner in 1952 (aged 104)

Wow, mind blowing.

​@TransoceanicOutreach one of the Wright brothers even managed to see jet planes and I think part of the space race too?

Damn, you must be really old

Man, I'm 34 and my great grandmother was born in 1876, I would love to hear those stories, do you remember something?

My grandfather was born in the 1860s. In 1922 he had a son - that was my father. Then in 1950 my father had a son - me. I remember in the 50s going to visit my father's sister and her family. They lived on the old farm where my father was born. There was no indoor plumbing. They got water from a spring and had an out house for a toilet. They used kerosine lamps. I remember seeing a mule going around a griding wheel to press cane to make molasses. The house was actually a log house but it was covered over with shingle siding and had a tin roof. They had crops, livestock, chickens and a garden. They had hogs and put meat in a smokehouse. They canned vegtables, preserved meat in lard. They had cows and used them for milk and to make butter. Sometimes a peddler in an old truck would come by selling coffee, salt, flour and such. I remember my dad talk about them going to town once a month in a horse drawn wagon to get supplies.

My Great Grandmother was born in the 1800s. Less than 30 years after slavery. I knew her and use to sit with my Pop and her as they talked. She always wanted to see me because I reminded her of her late husband.

My aunt, who would be 102… told me about riding in someone’s car but roads weren’t all built yet. They got bogged down in mud going home and sat there all day waiting for help. That intersection isn’t far from where I live. Ironically, there is a tack store there now. @@cry2love

John Tyler the 10th president born in 1790 has 2 grandchildren still alive. I myself was born in 83 in west texas, when i was young i knew a guy who was 97 at the time, was an old cowboy who arrived in Texas in a covered wagon as a very young child, he grew up pushing cattle from open plains to eventually putting up fence for ranches across the state. The guy started out on horseback taking weeks to trek across Texas to flying across the united states in couple hours. I for the life of me cant remember if he was in the great war or not. I just remember all the cowboy stories. My great grandpa on my dad side (my dad's mom side) was born in the 80's as well i believe his dad was civil war vet? I have to ask my grandma, (mid 80's now), he died when i was just learning how to walk. My great grandmother also on my dad side (my dad, father side), was a hotel Manager at Settles hotel in Big Spring Texas (where i was born and reared), but she was the Manager of the hotel still in operation today told bonnie and clyde they couldn't stay there and needed to scram.

That was the same prinicple behind the Soviet MiG-25 --- put enough power behind a boulder and it will fly.

Well, he also would've crashed that barn door as a result.

@@wanderschlosser1857sherlock fuckin holmes overhere

The man just casually invented rocketry.

that's the same year that my great grandfather was born too and when he passed away! He was 91 too. He passed at the same time that Dale Earnhardt Sr hit the wall

My former husband’s grandmother was also born in 1910. She grew up in Oklahoma and she lived to be 95. She told me when she was about 10 they hear me a noise and ran out into the road just in time to watch a car drive by, the first one she ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing you are around 65 years old?

Good guess, 66 actually. You weren't far off. I'm a Widower, Father, and Grandfather myself. I have 3 adorable Grandchildren; Girl 8, Girl 4, Boy 2. I'm beginning to think that my other 2 Kids are never going to get married.

@@BladeStar-uq6xe I figured somewhere in that area. My grandfather was born in 15 and I'm 62..my great grandfather lived to 98 and was a pistol..I wasn't old enough to realize what he could of told me about his life and hated history as a kid and regret that to this day now loving everything about history.

It's amazing to think that this isn't just American history, it's world history as well. There's hardly been an invention with more impact on our modern world.

@@joekulik999 People not looking to the future don’t see the need for much different than they already know. I think it was Henry Ford who said if you asked people in the 19th century what they needed most, they would have said, “A faster horse!”. Then Henry Ford and others introduced cars and radically modernized transportation. Then cars forced the modernization of roadways and the oil industry, etc., etc.. I read many years ago that some people opposed cars because they were ruining the buggy whip industry.

Amen!

They didn’t even show his face when he said that. What “twinkle in his eye???” Lmfao.

Or being damn greedy

My favorite thing about Charles Lindbergh is that he was totally based and rightly said how we defeated the wrong enemy in World War II.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Patton also resented the Shaloman Empire.

Same. I'm 50. My grandfather was born in 1893. He passed away in 1979 when I was 5. I remember little things like him always coming to our back door when he would visit. No one else did that. I remember him sitting in his chair and always looking over his right shoulder when the screen door would slam shut when I would visit him and I remember my father shaving his beard for him. That's about it.

A tool and die man from Dayton could get a job anywhere in the world. Such was the reputation of this town.

Pretty much all of Ohio was renowned for their products in some form or another. Dayton, Akron, Toledo. all have a rich history for industry

That's in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

@@sureshmukhi2316 - I'm not sure what you are referring to? But you can Google that Patrick Moore met, Orville Wright, Yuri Gargarin and Neil Armstrong. Sir Patrick Moore was an astronomer and educator who had a show on the BBC for more than 60 years. I met him as a kid in his role as an educator.

@@AnyoneCanSee in that movie, the moon was a tourist destination with regular flights.

Whereas human space travel has actually gone backwards over the past 55 years. The mighty Saturn 5 rocket that took Apollo astronauts to the Moon never failed. Not once. Unlike Elon Musk's big rockets today.

​@@mirror1675can't fail if it's faked.

Wonder why they never returned to the moon.

@@martymartin2894: They did several times but stopped by the early 1970's. There was a race with the then Soviet Union and we won so there was no reason to continue except for those few other times and it was expensive.

@@roberttelarket4934 was there any footage from those visits.

@@provisionalhypothesis good songs on it.

Cause they faked the moon landing​@@martymartin2894

and never having to see the recalling of supersonic flights, or spirit airlines!

TIL the first flight was only 1903. I thought it would have been something more like 1803, because of all the refinements and especially safety testing etc. you would have to do. So you're telling me between 1903 the first flight to the first world war they already had massive, impenetrable planes, knew aboutair pressure, pilot training and bombers and all those fascinating war planes. My god did they work fast back in those days.

The moon part is questionable

@@mehmeh5471 Everything is questionable. But 12 people most definitely walked on the moon. internet < actual education 👍

Yeah the Internet has way too much censorship these days. I miss the 2000s internet when it was pretty much the wild West 😂.

@@thegamingchef3304 yeah, I miss it, too. The gamer words, the smack talk. 12 years olds whose mom let them play Halo on xbox live.

I miss the days when there was no internet. People were using speech to communicate by using phonetic combinations of vowel and consonant sounds to form spoken words. 😛😂

@@OuweMan eh?

@@OuweMan the seventies were a hell of a time I bet

Your Granddad had iron balls. Anything that happened to one of those wood and fabric contraptions was pretty much a death sentence. There was no bailing out. That's a man I wish I could have met.

@@jamescaron6465 If you read the diaries of WWI pilots, the airplanes could take a lot of damage since they were covered in fabric. The bullets would pass right through them. A great book if you're interested is "No Parachute" by Arthur Gould Lee. He was a Sopwith Pup and Camel fighter pilot.

@@steverobson6538 That does make sense, but if anything does go wrong, like if a control cable is broken or the engine block takes a hit, you are all done. Or there was nothing to stop the bullets from hitting you. Those guys were still tough in my book.

Me too! That dog had a very black bear like face! 😂

Same here lol.

Me too!

That's why they called them gliders back then.

Actually, airspeed was about 35 mph, they launched into a 24 mph wind.

Roads back then were actually not bad in towns and cities. Level graded gravel roads, tarmac roads, asphalt roads, cobblestones... outside of cities there were dirt roads....

@@PRH123 Kitty Hawk had about 300 people during this period. Outside of the actual Main Street, it was probably all dirt. The big cities definitely had paved roads of some sort.

@@jimmyco1 ah, you meant kitty hawk…. sure, even in the 70’s when we went to the beach there, the main road down the peninsula was just tarmac, everything else pretty much was sand & gravel…

Yep some crazy but fascinating stuff

The ppl who thought he was old are very old now. Time really weighs on u when u think about how short 70-80 yrs actually is

you must be a rube

He was born in the 1870s. I'd says he's probably resting in the ground these days.

Their patent was for the three axis control system. Their motor was not especially light. Others had much better power to weight ratios. One thing they had that made a big difference was an adequate propeller theory that let them design efficient propellers. Gabriel Voisin went to his death insisting that the Wrights never flew until they came to France and used a French motor. In an appendix to his autobiography "Men, Women and 10,000 Kites" he presents data on the weights, areas and horsepowers of the early aeroplanes. Many of them could barely get off the ground. It is obvious that the Wright machine could not fly. Until you look at the early propellers. Boat paddles and fans. You needed 50 hp to get 25 hp out of them.

​​​@@aeromodeller1exactly... the wrights researched airplane design for years like true scientists, before they built one... built a wind tunnel and tested airfoils... flew kites and tested control systems for years... they were one of the first to understand that a propellor is a spinning wing, and they designed props that could maximize thrust accordingly... and as you say, they were the only aviation pioneers that understood the need for 3 axis control... whiteheads design had only an elevator, no rudder or roll control... Langleys design had a rudder and elevator but no roll control... So the wrights had many breakthroughs in aircraft design... it was of course also remarkable that they could make their own aluminum engine totally on their own at that time, that was "good enough" for a start... and ironically in terms of corporate business, they had their most profitable success in the area of aero engines and propellors...

Hi Mary 🌹, good morning and also how are you doing ?

It makes me sad to think about all the things that have been thrown in the trash when someone with no knowledge or interest in history inherits them.

Isn’t it though! Haha. It is the most impressive one I’ve ever seen in my 48 years of life.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 do a image search for "Monteiro Lobato" and be prepared for some amusement.

I wonder - if his nick-name was "Bert".

the first powered flight? lol sure

Seeing very many terrible things, not amazing

His speech is definitely a time capsule.
