On this day in 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright make the first successful flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight. Orville and Wilbur Wright grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and developed an interest in aviation after learning of the glider flights of the German engineer Otto Lilienthal in the 1890s.
Here is a Song for EveryOne to celebrate the end of the year and birth of a new year. This is a time of renewal and sense of self and world. It's an inner time of rebirth, regeneration. Christian Christmas originally not in December but in Spring, and after hundreds of years this festival was moved toward Solstice Christmas time where 50 other Saviors or Heroes, Sons of God, or Heavenly Spiritual Beings were said to celebrate their birthday. This birthday too, of Hercules, Horus, Hermes, Krishna, Apollo, Mithras, and more. In the metaphysical world, Winter Solstice, Hanukkah festival of lights, Christmas, New Year, and more , are all about renewing our inner connection to both our own Higher Self, Spiritual Self, Highest Virtue Universal Self, to the Good True Beautiful Spirit of the World, Compassion and Higher Truths. May the world find a good song to work and play World Peace into reality for us all! Follow your highest Star. Also consider hearing my other two talks on this Sacred time of the year, 'Metaphysical Santa, Christmas Tree and Star, Virgin, Christos', and 'The Secret of Santa'!
'A THREE MINUTE MEDITATION' to 'SAVE the WORLD'! from robert of mayflower.com
If each and everyone of us could meditate in the listening stillness of the heart and with the golden alchemy spark of wisdom love compassion for three minutes a day, the whole world could be saved overnight!
Yes that's right.
May wisdom and compassion and the warm heart of loving kindness, guide each and every one of us to our highest and deepest creativity and work in the world for heaven's sake.
Nearly 20 years after the Concorde made its final commercial flight, new efforts are underway to make supersonic passenger travel viable again. Bill Whitaker reports.
The NASA and Lockheed Martin team behind the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST) have recently removed the aircraft from its jig system, or external supports. The next step is proving the research aircraft is structurally sound and ready for final assembly.
The team has made significant progress on the X-59 QueSST assembly. In late October, they pulled the aircraft away from the jig support system. The jig, which is similar to scaffolding, helped ensure all of the aircraft’s hardware was placed together correctly throughout the manufacturing process.
