The quest to go higher, faster, and farther during the first halfcentury of aviation. Hi, im jeremy kinney. Were going to go through a tour of some artifacts that really stand out in terms of this story of higher, faster, and farther in the history of aviation. But first i want to talk about the air and space museum overall. The air and space museum has over 8 million visitors a year between the National Mall building and the stephen f. Udvarhazy center. Were looking at over 500 aircraft and helicopters. Of those aircraft, about 67 are on display on the National Mall building. So, what supports these artifacts is up to 60,000 individual small and medium artifacts. But what were going to talk about today is the story of higher, faster, and farther, which is scene sooen as a cliche in many ways throughout the history of aviation but actually has a real meaning to it, in which we look at the people who made this quest of flying in the third dimension a reality. And so, the idea of flying
Hello. Were going to go through a tour of some artifacts that really stand out in terms of the story of higher, faster, and farther. First, i would to talk about the museum overall. It has over 8 million visitors a year. Looking at the story of flight in the atmosphere, where i work in, we are looking at 500 aircraft and helicopters. About 67 are on display in the National Mall building. What supports these artifacts are up to 60,000 small and medium artifacts. Were going to talk about the story of higher, faster, farther. A bit of a cliche in the history of aviation but has a real meaning. We look at the people who made this quest of flying in the third dimension a reality. The idea of flying to the highest altitudes, faster speed, longest distances tells us a lot about the Technical Development of the airplane and the reinvention of what the Wright Brothers did. Only the smithsonian can tell the story. Behind me, you see the wright flyer. Oracle right, at the controls takes flight Or
Became the highlight of the century. We will be looking at this story of the higher, and faster and farther of aviation, but first i want to talk about the Aerospace Museum overall. It has over 8 million visitors a year between the National Mall building, and so looking at the story of the atmosphere that i am working in, we are looking at 500 aircraft and helicopters. Of those aircraft. 67 are on display in the National Mall building and what is supporting the artifacts is 67,000 small and medium artifacts, but what we will talk about today is the story of higher, faster and farther which is seen as a cliche throughout the history of aviation, but it has a real meaning to it. And in which we look at the people who made the quest of flying in the third dimension a reality. And so, the idea of flying the highest altitude and the fastest speed and the longest distances tells us a lot about the Technical Development of the airplane, and also the invention of the Wright Brothers and what t
Biodiversity of vast range of plants and animals live in the forest habitats in fact 80 percent of the worlds to rest till species inhabit them since time immemorial they also have provided us with animals to hunt for to eat and wood to burn and build but now the worlds forests are under massive pressure from logging agriculture and pollution thats our topic today on made the forest lets start in germany where forest is face problems ranging from erosion to drought to storms and flooding and insect pests around the country was the tables are falling and the forestry business in some places is on the ropes changing conditions are proving a major challenge for Many Small Companies who live off the forest. Martin hustled by his a forester who tends to 140 hectares of woods in northeastern germany mostly conifers with some deciduous species conditions have been exceptionally dry for several years now and the trees are suffering dozens of pits have been dug to monitor soil quality and moist
Immemorial they also have provided us with animals to hunt for to eat and wood to burn and build but now the worlds forests are under massive pressure from logging agriculture and pollution thats our topic today on made the forest lets start in germany where foresters face problems ranging from erosion to drought to storms and flooding and insect pests around the country was the tables are falling and the forestry business in some places is on the ropes changing conditions are proving a major challenge for Many Small Companies who live off the forest. Martin haselbach is a forester who tends to 140 hectares of woods in northeastern germany mostly conifers with some deciduous species conditions have been exceptionally dry for several years now and the trees are suffering dozens of pits have been done to monitor soil quality and moisture levels. Last year we had rainfall of just 300 liters per square metre thats the same as in the savannah woodlands of the serengeti with its zebras rhino
