Milestones of Flight provides a peek into the world of air and space with key moments throughout history. From the feather and wax wings used by Daedalus and Icarus in Greek mythology to the first powered and controlled aircraft on another planet, people have been fascinated by flight.  How can we lift something above the Earth?  How far will it go and how fast will it move?  Can it go farther and faster?  Can we lift people?  What will they see and learn from up there?  This gallery represents a larger, ongoing story about the people who asked these questions and the science they used to answer them.  We invite you to explore, ask your own questions, and be a part of the story.
