      Yes, made in USA as well.

      Santos Dumont flew first. America only invented angry birds. With a strong enough catapult, even a cow can fly

            It's fucking over for you anon. Even the french agree the Wright Brothers were first

            We didn't do anything practical with them and ours burn up and go wonky before we can get them to a target. I'm very suHispanicious that I know how the Russians pulled it off. One of the big problems we had was that all guidance had to be INS because you can't read anything outside of the plasma that hypersonic atmospheric flight entails... It's one of the big reasons we stopped hypersonic research.

            Given the Russian "hypersonics" have proven to be 100% interceptable I would think they haven't really pulled it off.

                20 cm is rather pathetic, tho. A kid can jump higher. Hell, cars on bumpy roads did better as well. Under their own power, no less.

            The monk lived actually
            >He was a man learned for those times, of ripe old age, and in his early youth had hazarded a deed of remarkable boldness. He had by some means, I scarcely know what, fastened wings to his hands and feet so that, mistaking fable for truth, he might fly like Daedalus, and, collecting the breeze upon the summit of a tower, flew for more than a furlong [201 meters]. But agitated by the violence of the wind and the swirling of air, as well as by the awareness of his rash attempt, he fell, broke both his legs and was lame ever after. He used to relate as the cause of his failure, his forgetting to provide himself a tail.
            The claim that he had traveled 200 meters is plausible for a simple glider. It's possible he saw Halley's Comet twice, which would have meant he lived into his 80s. Not too bad for the 11th-century.

        Dumont and Bleriot built better airplanes than the Wrights did but they definitely weren't first.

        In any case, Octave Chanute was the real mastermind, and pretty much all the pioneers (Wright, Bleriot and Dumont included) owe everything they achieved to his correspondence.

        the wright brothers 1903 flight was the first heavier than air aircraft to carry a man and fly under its own power. it used its own engine for all of its thrust. it merely slid on rails to keep it steady while its engine got it up to speed as the field they were in was sandy. no different from a modern runway. dumont's flight in france came in 1906. the 1908 flight from the wright brothers used a catapult, but this was not their first flight. 1903 was, and it was under its own power.

The had the first satellite but the first telecommunications, reconnaissance, and weather satellites were all American. They landed on Mars first but the probe only transmitted for 110 seconds, when Viking 1 landed it operated for over 6 years. They tried to compete with the Apollo program but never had a successful launch of N1. They were just as much into dick waiving as the Americans and in the end fell short

                Anon you're just trying to recontextualize stuff to win an argument now. The soviet space program doesn't stop existing after the US visit the moon you know also nice quint nigga
                [...]
                On the brightside we have Starship now which has bigger cargo and gorillion times cheaper than space shuttle

                > there were two probes, both were ours. we won the first stuff! and the other first stuff! you lose!
                > what do you mean you weren't in the race and nobody else was? that only means that everyone else lost!
                While indeed the soviet program didn't stop existing after the american landing on the moon or the sending of the voyagers in deeper space, they did other stuff (and beat you to it). a stuff you too were trying to achieve but had to catch up. that's exactly what losing means. you had to catch up because there was someone in front of you already (the USSR).

                And they did catch up and still persist to this day competing with country like China in another "space race" You just setting arbitrary finish line at the point when USSR started losing it's steam and decidely to not continue their massive project

          Mad because USSR beat USA at every level of space exploration?
          > we caught up!
          Did you? The only "achievement" you are so proud about: the man on Moon was never repeated again because?
          1) it never happened (lol, even burgers don't believe that you actually did it)
          2) it was pointless but we needed it for dick measuring points
          3) we didn't feel like it
          Funny how these days India beats both Russia and USA in moon missions. Holy kek, how embarrassing.

          good morning sirs, with levels of cope like this we may unlock new forms of deep space propulsion

    Anybody else in here actually have a pilot's license? It's been 6 months since I got it and I haven't gone back out yet. First it was because it was 100+ degrees, then because a bunch of vacations in a row. I need to get back in the saddle and actually use this thing.

      I've got a wet commercial (suffering) and I'm currently saving/planning on getting CFI so I can actually use the damn thing. My current job's pretty comfy (and I got it thanks to the license anyways) plus I suck at self-starting so it'll probably be a bit.

    I'm going to point out that the Wright Brothers deserve even more veneration than they get. they had not less than 4 major advancements to engineering and technology and they are treated like
    >yeah, they are pretty smart
    when they should be put in the same breath as Böhr, Newton, Euler and the like.
    they weren't just good or geniuses, they were league-of-their-own God's of engineering, experimentation, design and fabrication.

    I think I can list more, a whole lot of things that are superior to aviation. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the greatest inventions, but there are better things. Even with it's "cousin", with Space machinery (rockets and stuff), aviation loses.

    coolest. However greatest was the railway. It enabled us to leap forward so insanely much.

    railways will be constructed sooner on other planets than flying assets. imagine the lower drag on mars, yet enough gravity and pretty stable weather. the trains with all kinds of ore will be miles long. It will be so glorious it makes my dick into a steel ingot. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I FUCKING LOVE TRAINS
