Flying Machine

After centuries of trying, mankind finally mastered the art of flying at the turn of the last century--thanks to the Wright brothers! Air travel is now commonplace, and that's amazing considering that man has been trying to fly ever since the days of Greek myth and Icarus. What's more, we've also started space exploration--this was absolutely unimaginable before the invention of flying machines!

This invention has truly made our world a much smaller place.
