Progress and Predictions From the Age of Innovation
A sweeping compilation links early bath controversy, steam rail travel, Langley’s failed flight, and SST debates to modern aerospace ambition. It notes Boston banning bathtubs, Baltimore and Ohio’s first track, beliefs on 30 miles an hour, Langley’s crash, New York Times scoffing, and soaring hopes for hypersonic flight. It cites Concorde and TU-144 milestones, U.S. Senate resistance, and calls for progress in aviation as a national priority.
