In 1903, Orville and Wilber Wright
made first successful manned powered-airplane flight near Kitty Hawk, North
Carolina. Four years later to the day, famed Irish mathematician Lord William
Thomson Kelvin died. Before the Wright Brothers proved him wrong, Lord Kelvin
had proclaimed, "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."
Today, after a century of air travel, we are reminded that the word
"impossible" is a word that is best used with the utmost care.
