An ornithopter is a bird flight with flapping wings. While they laughed at Da Vinci for his thinking, 'the proof is in the pudding', as they say. Click here and wait for Priceline to do its ad or the clip wouldn't have been available.
It is a tribute to the tenacity and ingenuity of man that this day has arrived. Like all inventions that emulate Nature's creatures, mankind has used the study of flight in many ways. We have used it in normal life and in war. We have used what we have learned from Nature in medicine, growing food, and man will not stop the learning. However, many of the greediest mankind are making animals and plants extinct, thus forever effectively throwing away irretrievable, useful information.
Greed should be listed as the greatest sin since it impacts others more than any of the other 'sins'.
This blogger will soon return to home base after a bit more than two weeks away....the fix for homesickness is to be back home! I'm counting down the days....
