It took almost 100 years for man to move from the hot-air balloon to the first airship. The first airship was invented in the late 1800s. It was a powered(装有发动 机的）balloon.
In North Carolina, less than twenty-five years later, the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane. This first flight, in 1903，lasted less than half a minute! It covered just a few feet.
By the 1960s, man had moved from airplanes to spacecrafts. Today, space?crafts can go around the world in less than two hours. Tomorrow. Who knows?
53. Why did the boy in the story make a pair of wings?
