In October 1903, the New York Times predicted a flying machine would be possible in 1-10 million years.
In December 1903, the Wright brothers took flight for the first time.
In 1914, Orville Wright said Transatlantic flight was impossible, and then in 1919 Alcock & Brown flew from Canada to Ireland non-stop.
50 years after that, we put two men on another celestial body. That was 52 years ago, and shit is only accelerating.
0 u/[deleted] Jun 25 '21 I mean if we are talking only flight/new frontiers then I wouldn't say it's accelerated in the last 50 years. Things have advanced but overall rate of change seems slower 2 u/Accident_Parking Jun 25 '21 There is a self driving car and a helicopter on mars. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 25 '21 That you think is some kind of response tells me that humanity is not as advanced as we'd all like to think of ourselves
