    What’s really bizarre is the wright brothers first aircraft design is completely available to the public. They don’t have to build it from scratch. The plans are already done and could easily be copied with modern machine tools. But instead it’s like some acid trip episode of pimp my airplane.

      Yes, that's what I thought, and posted on, why not build a ww1 era biplane, with wood, cables and fabric. I'm sure there must be plans for some of those around somewhere. And it would actually work.

      well we were made in gods image perfect, and god is three in one, so we are also three in one , body, soul and spirit. And so we were put in a perfect paradise, with alot of fruit trees, but one fruit tree we couldnt eat of its called the tree of knowledge of good and bad, and so satan was a high angel who rebelled against god and was trown onto earth, he came to the perfect humans in disguise as a snake and said to them, didnt god say you would die if you eateth from that tree, the woman Said yes, and so satan told them well i tell tou if you eateth from that tree you will become like god, and so thats what she did and she also gave to her husband adam and that day they realised they were naked and had sinned against God, they died spiritually, their soul would die the eternal death (hell) and their body would die, if they didnt repent and believe , so the curse of death continued on alot of humans because of their sins, but god send his son jesus christ who came to undo the sins of the first humans by being without sins and dying as a sacrifice for the sinners, to make the path to forgiveness open by faith and being baptized, and receiving the spirit, jesus said if youre not born again trough water water spirit you cannot enter the kingdom of GOD ❤❤

That's mostly what it is, they were fed so little, that their body simply had to ration nutrients, and it doesn't prioritize the brain, so that means a gross underdevelopment of it. It's like they're 8 years old, not even capable of looking up the most basic info (they do have books, phones and internet), like that guy on his 10th plane build had airfoil shaped plates at the tip of the wings, but the wings themselves weren't airfoils. I can only imagine that even if they were to get proper nutrients, it would take several generations for their other features, like the size of their skull, to adjust to accommodate a larger brain.

      They build something that roughly looks like a plane but with no understanding of how a plane works and what makes it fly. This reminds me of the cargo cult that took a similar approach. The one with the collapsed landing gear weighs 800kg. That´s about double the weight of planes of a similar size. And then it has 3 sets of wings. I guess the thought was "more wings make plane fly better".
      It´s a bit sad that all their effort goes to waste because they´re doomed to fail.

    I think everyone should be aware that the guy at the end, probably the most successful of all of these, Chris Nsamba, died last year from diabetes after successfully building the first Ugandan made baby incubator for hospitals. From media reports and his twitter page it looks like it's still in use in hospitals. We should always keep in perspective that while a simple man founding a space program sounds ridiculous to us today, that's exactly how our own space programs began to be developed 100 years ago. I do applaud him for being so ambitious, there are literally people alive today who wouldn't be without his invention so props to him. Rip good sir.
