Wright Stuff Celebration

The Wright brothers' quest to fly was born of a dream to achieve the impossible. "The remarkable events of Dec. 17, 1903, changed our world forever," said Administrator O'Keefe. As an official partner of the U.S. Centennial of Flight Commission, NASA plans activities during 2003 to commemorate the Wright brothers' first powered flight on the sands of Kitty Hawk, N.C., and to increase awareness about flight-related achievements. Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC will host a kick off tribute on Dec. 17, 2002
