A college friend of mine's mum had always let her read science fiction with no question, which the rest of us found surprising (since most of our parents of the rest of us girls had at the best questioned and discouraged us from reading it, on the grounds that it might be okay for teenage/immature boys, but wasn't really the sort of thing *girls* ought to read (or be interested in)), and she told us that her mum had let *her* read it, because as a kid, she had wanted to read it as well, but her own mum (my friend's grandma) had vehemently denied it to her as a load of hogwash. And then, 1969 came around. And the (grand)mother, who had come out West with her parents in the back of a covered wagon, saw human beings walk on the moon. --And had pretty much thrown her hands up in the air and said, "You know what? Fine! Read science fiction with the robots and the space travel and everything! Apparently it's possible after all!!" XD But that must have been *mindblowing.* Heck, I grew up just in the Seventies and Eighties myself, reading Golden Age scifi from the 50's, with their credit sticks instead of cash or cheques, and I'm still kind of blown away by the tap function on my debit card, ha ha!

The father of manned flight, due to the principle heavier than air, was not mentioned: Otto Lilienthal from the Swedish/Preussian city Aklam. He had invented the glider airplane, aerodynamics and principles of controling flight, when he as a experienced pilot died in a crash 1896. All other aviators, including the wrights had learned the basics of flying from him. The wrights wan a flying competition with several participants and invented the wind tunnel. No engines could be made light and powerful enough until a inventor made one of aluminium to the Wrighs, which because of that ended up winning before the other aviators. Another German engeneer invented the space rocket, not far from Aklam. His name was Wernher von Braun.

It’s quite astonishing to know that Abbas Ibn Firnas has become a sort of celebrity in Iraq. On the way to the Baghdad Airport, there lies a, for a lack of a better word, rather majestic statue of him with his wings spread wide. I myself am half Iraqi half Swedish, and whenever I pass by that statue, the taxi driver always begins reciting the story of Abbas Ibn Firnas. It’s quite endearing to know that this man has not faded out of thought even after a thousand years. Not to mention that he certainty makes for a good story to tell to kids on their way to their first ever flight

My great grandfather was born in 1884 and lived to be 99 years old... and he died from complication of the flu, not wasting away, old age. His mind was sharp as a tack and I visited him every week in his apartment... he told about the days growing up with hose and buggy, to his first automobile, reading the newspaper about the Write Bothers (when he was 19), he fought in WWI in France and saw the planes dogfight above his trenches, was too old to fight in WWII and subsequent wars... and he came over to our house - driving his 1958 Ford (original owner) - to stay up late to watch the first space shuttle launch in the early 80s. I "interviewed" him for a history project in high school shortly before he passed in 1983... and as part of that history project, he came to my 9th grade class to answer questions from the students about his life... and he brought a huge photo album to use as a prop, explaining "This photograph was when I was two years old in 1886... the US was still fighting the Indian Wars and Geronimo was still on the run" to "When that young man landed on the moon, I knew we would be triumphant against the Soviets some day" (the Soviet Union was still a serious threat to the US in '83). Your ending of this video is right... there have been some of your viewers who had great grandparents live to see all those achievements in human history - and give a lecture presentation to a 9th grade student body in person.

Great video. Short and sweet.

Love your vids, keep up the good work :)

*Is there a reason he sounds like he is saying 42 At the beginning of every vid? Is it because every whole number has a decimal point making 42 actually 42.0 which is kinda like 420? I like to think so and in fact have for months. It’s like a little wink from him saying, “spark it up buddy his is going to be good. Let’s see how long it takes for the internet to ruin this for me.*

He's saying his chanel name

I believe the channel's name is a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where the number 42 is said to be "the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything". I guess it was a good 10 minutes while it lasted, huh? :P

As much as like getting stoned and having Arran fill my brain with random facts, there is no connection to 420. Its a play on the way thoughty2 sounds like 42 when a british person says it. 42 being a reference to Douglas Adams' answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Another brilliant channel name could be "Sorry 4 the Inconvenience", based on God's last message to life in the universe according to D Adams.

No mention of Santos-Dumont 14-bis?????

the first man to fly, was Santos Dumont, not using a fucking slingshot, like the Wright Brothers.

Heeey mustash man

Thanks for this interesting video. I'm still impressed with how many inventions have been made in the 19th and especially the 20 century. Maybe you're interested in doing a video about these engines that made flight possible like it's done in the later years to present.

3:45 gotta love the effort put into this edit

"The Human Angel: The Human that soar to the sky" The original title No this is not the original title

The "unladen or otherwise" African swallow reference was epic! I nearly pushed wine out of my nostrils when I heard it, hahaha!!

Just a little correction on your visuals. when you said "the first operational jet aircraft" ( at around 11:42) you showed the Gloster Meteor, wich wasn't the first operational jet aircraft. The first operational one (combat usable that is) would be the Messerschmitt ME 262. However, you can give the Meteor the title of the first turboprob powered aircraft, they actually used the Meteor as a testbed for a turboprob version of the Whittle jet turbine. ;D

First hehe, and I was editing a video 🤘🏻
