We owe a lot to Ohio
(thelemmy.club)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
They built and designed the wright flyer at their shop in Dayton, they just decided to test it in NC. It's kinda like saying NASA was from Houston but all the space stuff actually happened in Florida
I thought all the space stuff happened up there, in space?
The 1903 Flyer was such a shitty airplane that it needed negative density altitude to fly. They flew at Kill Devil Hills, inches above sea level, on a cold December day. They tried to replicate the flight in 2003 on the 100th anniversary, it was warmer, and the plane failed to fly.
