      Hi @aimeebaz
      I agree that some people have done amazing things, and have had amazing leaps of faith to believe their ideas and prove them.

      BUT

      I don’t think that makes them aliens!! I think we all have the potential to do brilliant things, and a combination of being in the right place at the right time led these people to greatness. I think they’re something to aspire to, rather than be so in awe of that you think they’re aliens!

      What do you think?

    well i dont think they are exactly aliens but they must have been extremely lucky to be in the right place at the right time to discover all these things and when you think about it, people before these things were invented would have no clue what they were so it is crazy how some one who didnt know what something was could invent it.

    You’re right, they are lucky, but they were also clever! It’s definitely better to be inspired by them than scared of them!!! 🙂
