The story behind the New York Times’ 1903 claim that human flight was between one and ten million years away is even worse than it looks.
Once you understand the backstory, you realize that the New York Times story is not really about flight at all but about how elites and credentialed “experts” mistake their own failures for the boundaries of possibility.
The New York Times did not dismiss the possibility of powered flight at random. There was a very specific reason behind it. At the time, America’s most prominent scientific authority, Smithsonian Secretary Samuel Langley, had been showered with large amounts of taxpayer funding to build an aircraft, the Langley Aerodrome. Despite all the money, institutional backing, and elite prestige, Langley and his team could not get it to fly, culminating in a series of very public failures, the last on December 8, 1903.
So when the New York Times declared that flight was millions of years away, what it was really saying was that if the most credentialed and well-funded “experts” cannot do it, then it cannot be done.
A mere nine days later, the elites’ proclamation of impossibility lay in ruins. Two totally unknown bicycle mechanics from Ohio achieved the first powered flight using improvised parts, a few hundred dollars of their own money, and sheer persistence.
The story of flight is, at its core, a story of the triumph of American individualism over elite credentialism. The fact that it was the New York Times that inadvertently delivered the proof is the most fitting conclusion imaginable.

@data_republican I have an idea better than a protest:
Senate Majority Leader Thune wants nothing more than to protect John Cornyn & keep him in the Senate.
If we don’t get the SAVE America Act, how about we all head to Texas & help defeat Cornyn on May 26th?
Thoughts?

My biggest pet peeve:
What time is dinner, Christy?
Me: 6pm.
Inlaws: Ok
Me: See ya then. (Knowing they won't be here on time.)
Currently 6:45.
Kids:" I hate when they dont value our time. It's like this every holiday."(Last time they showed up 2 and a half hours late)
Me: "They work a farm. Sometimes, it's like that."
In my head: It's still rude. They can never be on time even when they don't have chickens. But holding my tongue.
Biggest pet peeve. Never on time.
