1901: The U.S. Navy called flight a “vain fantasy”
1955: Space travel is “utter bilge”
Always listen to the ‘experts’. Shame there’s so few jobs left in science now that so many things are settled.In 1903, New York Times predicted that airplanes would take 10 million years to develop
Only nine weeks later, the Wright Brothers achieved manned flight. The pathologically cynical always will find a reason to complain.
