00:09All right, kids, let's all stay together.
00:12We've seen lots of amazing things from the history of aviation,
00:16but I've saved the best for last.
00:19Kind of ironic, because this was a great first.
00:22There was a time when only birds had the power of flight.
00:25But then the Wright Brothers came along and invented the very first aeroplane.
00:32This is the Wright Flyer of 1903, the plane that gave us the first moused flight.
00:40Um, don't you mean manned flight?
00:42No, son, the first moused flight.
00:45Would you like to hear the story of that courageous mouse?
00:49Oh, yes!
00:50Tell us, too!
00:51Well, it all started in the Wright Brothers Bicycle Shop in Dayton, Ohio.
01:09Wilbur, do you see what this bold little mouse is doing?
01:14How rude!
01:15No need to be alarmed, Orville.
01:17I'll call your worthless cat, Thomas.
01:20Please attend to that meddlesome mouse.
01:38Get that mouse, Thomas.
01:49Did you see that, Orville?
01:51I did, Wilbur, I did.
01:53I think that mouse knows something of aerodynamics.
01:59And he's terrifically good at outsmarting Thomas.
02:02The combination of those skills will help with our experiments.
02:06Let's begin right away.
02:11I hope the mouse finds our box kite useful.
02:14Look, here he comes.
02:16And your cat is close behind.
02:24Look, Wilbur, the kite's working.
02:28Let's just hope your cat doesn't create too much drag.
02:33Woo!
02:34Woo!
02:35Woo!
02:35Woo!
02:36Woo!
02:37Woo!
02:37Woo!
02:37Woo!
02:41The mouse caught a thermal updraft.
02:54A perfect landing.
02:56What excellent flying.
02:59Quick, brother.
03:00Let's return to the shop.
03:03Thomas, pick up that kite.
03:11From kites, the Wright brothers moved up to full-size gliders, big enough to carry a man, as well as
03:22pull a cat.
03:27Now, the Wrights were ready to make a plane that could take off under its own power.
03:32But before they built a full-size version, they tested models in a device they called a wind tunnel.
03:40I simply cannot figure out what is wrong with the flyer.
03:44Don't worry, Wilbur. We can run more tests after lunch. I've made boolea bass.
04:13The Wrights was the commissioned player's vision in the television.
04:14The Wrights was 획 guy, and the Wrights was the scrunch of his first version.
04:15He was a man in a giant picture of his family.
04:15He was a man in a giantぞ.
04:16I'm out of his way too.
04:48Oh, dear. Something's wrong with the wind tunnel.
04:52Wilbur, is our plane all right?
04:54Great, Scott. The model's fine and with only two wings.
04:58Oh, goody. A biplane.
05:02Whoa! I've got you!
05:07Purple red!
05:08He has a shovel!
05:12With the design of the right flyer completed, the crew packed up and traveled to the testing fields in Kitty
05:19Hawk, North Carolina.
05:23This propeller is broken and we need two to fly the plane.
05:27Well then, we just need to figure out how to fix it.
05:57It's flying!
05:59Where did the mouse find another propeller?
06:03It's wonderful!
06:04It's thrilling!
06:06It's... it's coming right at us!
06:09Run!
06:17Don't just stand there, Wilbur!
06:19Take my picture!
06:23And that's just how it happened on December 17th, 1903.
06:28Well, the humans will get all the credit, but it was a mouse who made the first flight.
06:33But don't you have any proof? Some corroboration?
06:36Isn't that the way it happened, Tom?
06:40Yep, that's pretty much it, Jer.
06:47Everybody will meet back here in 15 minutes.
06:51It orn't!
06:53Emily Julien, and we're all!
06:55The
