The Age of Anxiety/ Connection Across Time

As I learned about Charles Lindbergh in this chapter I realized how much of a feat it truly was for him to fly across the Atlantic. He was attempting to accomplish something that so many people had failed at before him. Today we see this type of trip as a fact, we can fly to Italy, Great Britain or China all in the period of a day. It truly is mind blowing to think back to when people just dreamed of flying. When you do look back and see how far we have come from the first time the Wright brothers took flight it is amazing. The first time man accomplished flight he was barely able to go fast enough to stay off the ground, now we are going three times the speed of sound and traveling out into space. I must give Charles Lindbergh so major props though because I can not imagine the courage that it must have taken for him to get into that plane to set out to make history. Without Charles Lindbergh we might not have come as far as we have today in the area of flight.
