Answer: The Spirit of St. Louis is perhaps one of the most famous aircraft ever built. On May 20–21, 1927, aviator Charles Lindbergh made the first solo, nonstop transatlantic flight, traveling a distance of 3,600 miles from New York to Paris. His aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis, was designed and built by the Ryan Airline Company specifically to compete for the Orteig Prize for the first flight between the two cities. Lindbergh named the plane in tribute to his sponsor, the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. The letters "NYP" which appear on the plane, are an acronym for "New York-Paris," the object of the flight.

Legend has it that in the 1600's, a 23-year-old Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell from the tree and boinked him in the head, resulting in a "Eureka" moment. Gravity! Following his apple insight, Newton presented his three laws of motion in "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy," which has been called the single most influential book on physics. Newton demonstrated that the force that makes the apple fall and that holds us on the ground is the same as the force that keeps the moon and planets in their orbits.
