There is a write up in that hall.....................................on the 1st floor.......of the Air and Space museum..............true of inventing in general......................................compare also with Tom Edison...............it took him 10,000 attempts to get the filaments correct to make a light bulb.........light...............

The Wright Brothers.......................were bicycle mechanics amongst other stuff........................and they failed at 1st.........

I forgot the exact quote............but it was something in reference to their efforts and inventing in general..................................kinda like raw inventing and effort..........doing something for the 1st time that no one else has........................even thought of or succeeded at.................and it says.....the plaque in Sam L hall does.......that that process of invention and effort is in general what the entire museum is about............the Air and Space museum............I thought of that along with the computer................b/c not only do u have to make the physical parts..........but program the thing also.............which no one had did before.........the Wright brothers not only had to get the machine right...............but at the same time learn to fly the thing..............risking embarrassment.........failure.............ridicule...........all kinds of stuff...........
