From Kitty Hawk to Alpha Centauri in a century? Even I know that’s too good to be true!

Maybe NASA is getting help.....

First: “The period that elapsed between no aircraft and jet aircraft was about three decades.”

Then: “From Kitty Hawk to Alpha Centauri in a century?”

Did we loose a decade somewhere in there?

Kitty Hawk 1903
First Jet to fly... 1939, closer to 4 decades that three.
Alpha Centauri in 2013...Not yet, 110 years later.

(OK, my nit picking is done for the day.)

Not Kitty Hawk...Bridgeport and Gustave Whitehead in 1901
