The Wright Brothers had made their first flight in December 1903. In the mid-1950s she was flying with commercial airlines.

Seeing our blue world from outside. Saying that, to a mere human immortal like me, it is more satisfying to see photos like the ones from your journey (previous post) than to see the planet as a whole. But that's just me. Excellent two posts.
