00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,560
This is so cool.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,480
Look, there's the original Wright Brothers plane.

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,760
Look over there, there's the Spirit of St. Louis.

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:08,880
Oh, yeah.

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,400
That's the plane that Charles Limburg flew to Paris.

6
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,280
He won $25,000.

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,000
Hi, can I help you?

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,880
We'd need to learn more about the history of flight.

9
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,920
Well, you must be the treehouse detectives.

10
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,400
We most certainly are.

11
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,480
Hi, I'm General Jack Daly, the director

12
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,400
of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

13
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,080
I want to welcome you here this morning.

14
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,040
Can you tell us a little more about the history

15
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,680
of the Wright Brothers plane?

16
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,400
Sure, the Wright Brothers were the first ones

17
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,160
to solve the technical problems associated with flight.

18
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,480
Many others had tried, but these two brothers working alone

19
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,640
developed the fundamental principles of flight

20
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,080
that are still in place today,

21
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,400
and they changed our lives completely.

22
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,440
We know that contests play an important part

23
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,280
in the history of aviation.

24
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,600
Why is that?

25
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,760
Well, competition is important in life

26
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,760
no matter what we're doing, whether we're playing soccer,

27
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,880
competing for the Olympics,

28
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,080
or trying to build a better airplane.

29
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,480
If you want to be the number one or the best,

30
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,000
you have to work harder.

31
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,400
The Race to Space was another competition?

32
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,240
Sure was.

33
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,440
It was a race between the United States and the Soviet Union,

34
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,040
and each country was trying to demonstrate

35
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,840
that they were better in space flight.

36
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,360
But what started as a competition

37
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,040
has now turned into a partnership

38
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,160
with the United States, Russia, and other countries

39
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,480
building an international space station.

40
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,160
We need to learn more about the four forces of flight.

41
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,320
Is there a place here where we can explore?

42
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,160
There sure is.

43
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,560
It's called How Things Fly.

Kaylee, this is so neat.
