Before there were airplanes, people dreamed of flying. They told stories about flying people. One old story is about a young man named Icarus. He and his father wanted to get away from a bad king. So Icarus' father made wings, and they used them to fly away. Years ago, people also tried to make flying machines. Most of them did not work. But today, flying is not just a dream. Today, big airlines carry many passengers. But some people enjoy flying in small planes. In 2014, a young man flew around the world. His name is Matt Guthmiller. He was only 19 years old, but he flew by himself. His trip took six weeks. He stopped 25 times in 14 countries. He is the youngest person to fly around the world.
Many people now dream of flying into space. And their dreams may soon come true. Many companies are building space planes. They will take people on short flights to space. Space tourism will be expensive at first. But over time, it should become much cheaper. Then more people's dreams of flying will come true.
