1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,040 Hello there! People have dreamed of flying for centuries and it finally 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,640 happened in 1903 when the Wright brothers invented controlled flight and 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:19,760 flew 852 feet in 59 seconds. With the invention of the jet engine Chuck Yeager 4 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,760 flew faster than the speed of sound which is 750 miles per hour and that was 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:32,720 in 1947. Then NASA invented successful rockets that took John Glenn into orbit 6 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:41,480 around the earth in 1962 and Neil Armstrong to the moon in 1969. Right now 7 00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:47,160 NASA astronauts are building the International Space Station 220 miles 8 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:51,920 above us. This is going to be the first permanently orbiting space hotel and 9 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:59,360 research facility. And guess what? Now NASA is building airplanes that fly like 10 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:06,120 birds. Imagine that! Fly like birds! I love it! 11 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,440 So in the spirit of good inventions I have invented my own flying machine 12 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,800 prototype and if it works I should be able to fly in relative ease from place 13 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,600 to place. So here we go! 14 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:32,520 Not a very good idea!
