This Power Trail investigates the history of speed – and some of the ways we have created engines and machines to take us faster and faster.
Some people argue that air travel will overtake road and rail travel soon – it is already cheaper – and quicker - to fly from say Carlisle to London, especially if you can use city-centre runways. Explore the growth of air travel – from the Wright Brothers to Airbus A300 double-decker jets.
Or perhaps space travel is the way forward. NASA has exciting plans for us to travel into space. You can take a flight to Mars and Jupiter at: www.spacewander.com/USA/english.html
