01:43 Wright Brothers first flight. They Taught the World to Fly! The Wright Brothers: First in Flight and Family. Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where, after four years of scientific experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights on December 17, 1903. With courage and perseverance, these self-taught engineers relied on teamwork and application of the scientific process. What they achieved changed our world forever. 24:03 Destination Moon. Flight of the Apollo Saturn V rocket. First Moon Landing 1969. At 02:56GMT on 21 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon. He stepped out of the Apollo 11 lunar module and onto the Moon's surface, in an area called the 'Sea of Tranquility. 26:44 - 28:57 The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is a battery-powered four-wheeled rover used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972. Built by Boeing, each LRV has a mass of 462 pounds (210 kg) without payload. It could carry a maximum payload of 970 pounds (440 kg), including two astronauts, equipment, and cargo such as lunar samples, and was designed for a top speed of 6 miles per hour (9.7 km/h), although it achieved a top speed of 11.2 miles per hour (18.0 km/h) on its last mission, Apollo 17.

Welcome to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC! Witness the awe-inspiring history of flight, from the Wright brothers' first controlled powered flight to the monumental achievements of space exploration. Trace the evolution of aircraft through time. Marvel at the intricate designs of early planes, where wooden frames and fabric wings defied the limits of imagination. From the thrilling propeller-driven warbirds of World War II to the sleek, supersonic jets of the modern era, you'll witness the breathtaking progress of aviation technology. Explore the cosmos through interactive exhibits, where you can touch a meteorite or even see a moon rock brought back from the lunar surface. Discover the extraordinary stories of those who ventured beyond our planet. Learn about astronauts who braved the unknown and achieved the impossible, all in the pursuit of knowledge and exploration. Go behind the scenes and witness the incredible feats of engineering that made space travel a reality. From the mighty Saturn V rocket that sent humans to the moon, to the intricate spacesuits that protected them in the harsh vacuum of space. With each exhibit, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the triumphs, challenges, and dreams of those who pushed the boundaries of what was once thought impossible.
