TIL that in 1903 the New York Times predicted that building a flying machine would be possible in 1-10 Million years.

To understand how ridiculous this is, the first successful powered airplane flew this same year, 1903
You’re understating how ridiculous
it wasn’t just the same year. it was nine days later
how do newspaper clippings from a hundred years ago violate community guidelines
to fly is to go against the will of god
