1 Federal Aviation Administration July 28, Words to Live By What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly? — William Law, 'A Serious Call to a Devout and Holly Life XI,' 1728 I confess that in 1901, I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for fifty years.... Ever since, I have distrusted myself and avoided all predictions. — Wilbur Wright, in a speech to the Aero Club of France, 5 November 1908 There is no hope for the fanciful idea of reaching the Moon because of insurmountable barriers to escaping the earth's gravity. — Dr. F. R. Moulton, University of Chicago astronomer, 1932.
