A few things you need to know:<\/p>\n

Amelia Earhart. \u00a0She was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, in 1932. \u00a0She then upped the ante by flying from Hawaii to California in 1935. \u00a0And finally, in 1937, she set out to fly around the world. \u00a0Two-thirds of the way through, somewhere near the International Date Line, her plane disappeared, and she was never seen or heard from again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Icarus: in Greek mythology, Icarus, son of Daedalus, was the first human to break the laws of gravity by using the wings his father crafted out of osier branches, bird feathers, and wax to soar into the sky. \u00a0Young, enthusiastic, and thrilled by the feeling that flying gave him, he ignored his father’s warning about flying too close to the sun: the wax melted, and Icarus crashed into the sea and drowned.<\/p>\n
