Leaders point people in the right direction. On December 17th 1903, the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, secured a place in the history books by becoming the very first men to fly. This event was a giant step for aviation and one that pointed other men in the right direction. From then on man’s quest to fly moved forward at a rapid pace. In fact, in the same generation as man’s first ever flight men also flew in space for the very first time. And then, only a few years later, men flew to the moon, landed and walked on the surface of another planet. It was 3.56am (British summer time) on July 21st 1969, when the American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, took his first step on the moon. As his feet touched the ground he spoke the now famous words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
