THE WRIGHT BROTHERS AND THE FIRST MOON LANDING17 December 1903 and 20 July 1969Humans have always been obsessed with flight, and two landmark days – separated by 66 years – define this dream. Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first powered flights in 1903. Sixty-six years later, was the first human to set foot on the moon. With a single flight on 17 December 1903, that lasted only 12 seconds, Wilbur and Orville Wright, two bicycle mechanic brothers from Ohio, changed the world forever. Their powered aircraft known as The Flyer was the first great invention of the 20th Century, and influenced the course of aviation. Nearly 70 years later, aviation had advanced to the extent that the human race was able to fly to the moon. This is the story of the Apollo 11 lunar landing on July 20th 1969. The drama of each day is seen through the intercut viewpoints of a core cast of characters. This heightens the tension and gives us different perspectives of the same event.
