[00:00:00]In 1903, the US government [music] said humans would never fly.

[00:00:05]Newspapers laughed at the idea. Experts called it impossible. But two brothers [music] from Ohio refused to listen.

[00:00:12]Orville and Wilbur Wright paid for their experiments with profits from their small bicycle shop. No government funding, no investors, [music] just belief. They failed again and again.

[00:00:24]Skeptical newspapers mocked them. The government rejected them. But they kept [music] building, kept testing, kept failing. Then on a windy morning [music] at Kitty Hawk, Wilbur ran alongside a fragile aircraft and lifted off.

[00:00:39]>> [music] >> 12 seconds, 120 feet. The Wright brothers proved that the world's impossible [music] is just someone's not yet.

[00:00:48]Mystery creates wonder.

[00:00:50]And wonder [music] is the basis of all human achievement.
