The Wright brothers' first flight was 40 years prior. They were trying all sorts of crazy stuff and relaxed, for the most part, in the 60s. They invented the helicopter, an aircraft that stays aloft through sheer violence alone, in '39.

"through sheer violence alone" is such a wild - but TOTALLY appropriate - way to describe it!
