• The October 22 issue of The Independent featured an article by American astronomer Simon Newcomb entitled "The Outlook for the Flying Machine". In it, Newcomb wrote, "The mathematician of to-day admits that he can neither square the circle, duplicate the cube or trisect the angle. May not our mechanicians, in like manner, be ultimately forced to admit that aerial flight is one of that great class of problems with which man can never cope, and give up all attempts to grapple with it? I do not claim that this is a necessary conclusion from any past experience... Quite likely the twentieth century is destined to see the natural forces which will enable us to fly from continent to continent with a speed far exceeding that of the bird. But when we inquire whether aerial flight is possible in the present state of our knowledge; whether, which such materials as we possess, a combination of steel, cloth and wire can be made which, moved by the power of electricity or steam, shall form a successful flying machine, the outlook may be altogether different." ^[216] The Wright brothers would make their first successful flights in the Wright Flyer on December 17 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. ^[217] In later years Newcomb's views would sometimes be distorted and presented out of context to suggest that he had thought the problem of heavier-than-air flight was certain to remain unsolved. ^[218]
