THE HISTORY OF
19th-20st century
MOVEMENT
AIR BALOON
A hot air balloon is a lighter-than-air aircraft consisting of a bag, called an envelope, which contains heated air. Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket (in some long-distance or high-altitude balloons, a capsule), which carries passengers and a source of heat, in most cases an open flame caused by burning liquid propane. The heated air inside the envelope makes it buoyant, since it has a lower density than the colder air outside the envelope.
BICYCLE
The bicycle was invented in 1817 by Karl von Drais, a German inventor. Drais's invention, called the Laufmaschine, was a two-wheeled vehicle that was propelled by the rider's feet. It had no pedals, so the rider had to push off the ground to move forward.
The Laufmaschine was a popular novelty in the early 1800s, but it was not until the 1860s that the bicycle began to evolve into the more familiar form that we
know today.
CAR
Karl Benz, a German engineer. He patented his Benz Patent Motorwagen in 1886, which is considered to be the first true automobile.
The Motorwagen was a three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine. It was capable of reaching speeds of up to 16 km/h (10 mph).
FLIGHT: On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first successful powered flight, using a heavier-than-air craft
TRAIN
The first steam-powered locomotive was invented by Richard Trevithick in 1804. He demonstrated his locomotive, the Penydarren Tramway Engine, on February 21, 1804, in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.
The locomotive was able to haul a load of 10 tons of iron and 70 people at a speed of 10 mph.

Spaceship
based on existing plans and progress in space exploration, a realistic estimate for a viable space colony could be anywhere from 50 to 100 years in the future. Technological advancements and funding availability will play significant roles in determining the actual timeline.
