The NASA Langley Research Center is located in Hampton, Vancouver, United States of America. NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Research Center is not all about space though, Langley has developed swimsuits for Speedo to slow down drag reduction and increase the speed of swimmers. Their expertise in aircraft aerodynamics helped them.
Samuel created eyeglasses by mounting two glass or crystal lenses into a frame that could be held up to the eyes. He is often credited with inventing the first pair of eyeglasses in Italy around 1286. Eyeglasses provided a simple and effective method for improving vision for those with vision impairments.
Neil Armstrong served as a test pilot at NASA's Langley Research Center and later at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in California. He was involved in various experimental aircraft programs, flying a range of high-speed and high-altitude planes. His experience as a test pilot contributed significantly to his skills and expertise as an astronaut, ultimately leading to his historic moon landing in 1969.

The Wright brothers didn't make it , Samuel T. Langley made it.
No, he made aircraft models but his two full size aircraft were failures.
