It just occurred to me that "aviation" means "making like a bird". But most birds have to flap their wings to get aloft and stay there. So far as I know, there has never been a successful ornithopter. Unless you believe the legend of
Daedalus and Icarus.

What are y'all afraid of? I will not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
