TEXT:
Today, people can do many things they couldn’t do years ago. For example, people can drive cars, take photographs, forecast the weather and do many other exceptional things. They can even fly across the ocean and go to the moon in spaceships without any difficulty
However, Man’s present ability to fly is the result of past achievements by exceptional pilots like the Wright brothers and Charles Lindbergh. The former was able to fly the first plane in 1903 whereas the latter was able to make the first solo nonstop flight in 1927.
In the near future, man will certainly be able to live other planets and they will be helped by a new generation of robots. These robots might well go on missions of exploration to the different planets which won’t be a secret!
