Gather enough and its pandemonium especially if there’s chopped fruit.
Jellied gasoline or other derivative.
By definition alone.
There’s an interesting article in The Atlantic about the inventor of the Keurig K cup and his regrets that what he thought would be a machine just for offices is now found in so many homes. The environmental impact of the non-disposable cups is what he regrets.
Just for reference (I mentioned it in the “what are you reading” thread awhile ago), David McCullough’s book “The Wright Brothers” gives a very good picture of the two men, what they accomplished, and a small look at their later lives. Very readable and fascinating.
For example: as posted above, the US Army was interested, but their real first successes and fame came in France, who were highly interested in the Wright flyers, given that their own folks were close to making the first flight themselves.
Wilbur became buried in lawsuits arising out of the brothers’ business, and died decades before his time while mired in the legal mess.
After Wilbur died, Orville sold the business headache and lived a long life serving on boards advancing aviation (including 28 years on NACA, which a decade after Orville’s death became NASA).
Seems like a bit of a no brainer to me – Orville was more fortunate because he had a better and longer life.
Easy. You shoot them down, as Jello shots.
Oops, I missed LSLGuy’s jello shots above.
The OP’s answer depends somewhat on who they were as people, what their outlooks were. Generally speaking, it’s one who chooses to focus on the positives that will be more fortunate, regardless of how long they live. Based on the quote provided by Mijin it sounds like Orville wasn’t overly negative. He was realistic, grateful for the good flight has brought, and sad for when it’s used for harm.
Wilbur, on the other hand, when we know how his optimism compares with Orville’s, we’ll know who was the more fortunate. Other than that, I think it’s Orville since he lived longer and saw all the evolutions described by the OP.
Legend has it Richard Pearse invented (flew) the airplane several months before the Wright bros. The Wright Bros. invented controlled flight and avoid crashing into things like Mr. Pearse did. Controlled flight was the better option.
As I said on another board, insufficient wing area to get off the ground, like a Bleriot Pingouin. Flat airfoil, meaning there is only lift within a narrow angle of attack. Dangerously short-coupled, making it inherently unstable. Even on the documentary where they built a replica they only bounced around the field without attempting to fly.
Invented by Tom Lehrer. Really.
